Poisson participated in both the 2025 Vancouver Canucks Prospects Camp and 2025 Abbotsford Canucks Training Camp as an undrafted free agent invite before officially joining the organization.

Ryan Johnson also announced today that Poisson has been loaned to Abbotsford’s ECHL affiliate Kalamazoo Wings.

Looking to make their mark on opening weekend and take home all four points, the Canucks iced a similar lineup with just a few key changes. Ben Berard joined Vitali Kravtsov and Max Sasson on the top line after scoring in last night’s season opener. Josh Bloom also drew into his first game of the year alongside Joseph Labate and Dino Kambeitz.

Abbotsford rolled with the same defensive pairings as the previous night, but the biggest change came in goal as Jiří Patera made his first start in over 11 months. Jesper Vikman got the nod for the Silver Knights.

The Canucks controlled the puck for most of the opening frame, registering nearly triple the shots of Henderson. However, with just under two minutes remaining, Tuomas Uronen capitalized on a rebound to put the Silver Knights ahead 1–0. Despite the strong pressure, Abbotsford headed into the first intermission down by one.

The second period brought much more action. As both teams began to find their rhythm, Henderson doubled their lead when Raphael Lavoie converted on a turnover for his team’s second of the night. The Canucks were quick to respond, though—just 24 seconds later, Danila Klimovich and Joseph Labate broke out on a two-on-one. Klimovich fed Labate cross-ice, and he buried it to cut the deficit in half. Abbotsford kept pressing, and their efforts paid off when Max Sasson slipped the puck through Vikman’s legs to even the score at two.

Riding that momentum, the Canucks added three unanswered goals. Mackenzie MacEachern intercepted a pass and tucked one through Vikman’s pads to give Abbotsford their first lead of the game at 3–2. Patera stood tall the rest of the way, making several key stops to preserve the advantage. With time winding down, Nils Åman extended the lead on the power play, ripping a shot from the left circle to make it 4–2.

Henderson pulled their netminder in the dying moments, but it was too little, too late. The Canucks held on for a 4–2 victory—securing all four points on opening weekend.

Next up, Abbotsford heads to Laval to face the Rocket before returning home to raise their well-earned championship banner at their Home Opener on October 24th.

Canucks beat the Silver Knights 4-2 in a come from behind victory

Abbotsford Canucks hockey is back in full swing as the reigning Calder Cup champions kicked off their fifth season Friday night against the Henderson Silver Knights in Nevada.

With just a third of last year’s roster returning, the opening lineup featured several fresh faces. Up front, Max Sasson centered Nils Åman and Vitali Kravtsov, followed by a second line of Mackenzie MacEachern, Ty Mueller, and Danila Klimovich. Rookie Vilmer Alriksson joined Joseph Labate and Dino Kambeitz, while Ben Berard, Cooper Walker, and Chase Stillman rounded out the offense.

On defense, Jimmy Schuldt and Tom Willander opened the night, while the lone returning blueliner Kirill Kudryavtsev paired with Nikolai Knyzhov. Joe Arntsen and Sawyer Mynio completed the defensive group. In goal, Nikita Tolopilo got the first start of the season, facing Carl Lindbom for Henderson.

The teams spent the opening 20 minutes feeling each other out, with neither side able to break the deadlock. Tolopilo was sharp early, coming up with several key saves to keep the game scoreless after one.

Midway through the second period, Abbotsford’s fourth line opened the scoring. Cooper Walker carried the puck into the zone and fed Ben Berard, who buried his shot to net the Canucks’ first goal of the season and give them a 1–0 lead. Both teams saw time on special teams and even some 4-on-4 play, but the goaltenders stood tall as Abbotsford carried the one-goal advantage into the third.

Chances came at both ends in the final frame, but it remained a goaltender’s duel. With just under three minutes to play, Henderson pulled their netminder for the extra attacker — and it paid off. Tanner Laczynski found the back of the net to tie the game at 1–1 and force overtime.

It didn’t take long for the Canucks to finish the job. Just 53 seconds into extra time, Max Sasson called game, burying a feed from Danila Klimovich to secure Abbotsford’s first win of the season.

The Canucks will look to make it two in a row when they face the Silver Knights again tomorrow night in the back half of their weekend series.
