Abbotsford Canucks trade Carsen Twarynski to San Diego for Future Considerations

The Abbotsford Canucks kicked off their mid-week series against the Bakersfield Condors with a game that could have a significant impact on the Pacific Division standings.

Nikita Tolopilo was back between the pipes tonight, facing off against Olivier Rodrigue for the Condors.

Leading the offense was Arshdeep Bains, Max Sasson, and Linus Karlsson. Jujhar Khaira, recently acquired in a trade with the Syracuse Crunch, made his Abbotsford Canucks debut on the right wing alongside Sammy Blais and Aatu Räty. Tristen Nielsen and Danila Klimovich bookended Ty Mueller, while Ty Glover, Chase Wouters, and Nate Smith rounded out the forward group.

On defense, the Canucks opted for the same lineup as Saturday’s game, with Guillaume Brisebois and Cole McWard kicking things off. Christian Wolanin and Jett Woo remained paired together, while Akito Hirose continued to line up alongside Kirill Kudryavtsev.

The Abbotsford Canucks aimed to come out strong and set the tone for what was expected to be a tight game. They dominated the first seven minutes, registering seven shots on net while holding the Condors to just one. Around the 7-minute mark, Kirill Kudryavtsev took a seeing-eye shot from the right circle, putting Abbotsford on the board early. Trying to ride the momentum, the Canucks faced adversity when they went down a man. The Condors couldn't capitalize on the power play, but after seemingly shaking up the home team, Drake Caggiula picked up a rebound to tie the game at 1 at the 11-minute mark. Both teams continued to trade chances, but as the period wound down, Abbotsford forced a turnover in the neutral zone, sending the play back into their offensive zone. After an initial shot attempt was unsuccessful, Arshdeep Bains scooped up the loose puck and roofed it, giving the Canucks a 2-1 lead with just 19 seconds left in the period.

Similar to the first twenty minutes, the second period saw Abbotsford score two more goals while the Condors managed one. Bakersfield struck first, capitalizing on a power play around the 5-minute mark. With an Abbotsford player in the box, Ronnie Attard found the back of the net to tie the game at 2. A few minutes later, the Canucks earned their first power play opportunity of the game—and made the most of it. Danila Klimovich fired a shot that Linus Karlsson tipped in, restoring Abbotsford’s lead. That goal made Karlsson the Abbotsford Canucks' all-time goals leader with 66 career goals! The Canucks continued their dominant play, and with Klimovich hungry for a goal of his own, he found the back of the net just a few minutes later. His 20th goal of the season extended Abbotsford’s lead to 4-2 heading into the final frame.

The Canucks' offensive dominance carried into the third period. They came out fast once again, and this time, it was Tristen Nielsen who got on the board. Less than two minutes in, he picked up a loose puck in front and stuffed it home. Continuing to apply pressure, it was newly acquired Jujhar Khaira—playing in his Abbotsford debut—who accepted a pass from Sammy Blais and fired it in from the right circle, putting Abbotsford up by four goals. The Condors tried to mount a comeback, but the Canucks had full control of the game and skated away with a commanding 6-2 victory.

The teams will rematch tomorrow before Abbotsford prepares to take on the Calgary Wranglers this weekend for their St. Patrick’s Day game and Community Heroes Night.

The Abbotsford Canucks faced off against the San Jose Barracuda tonight for Top Dogs Night, looking to bounce back from a tough loss on Friday.

Artūrs Šilovs returned to Abbotsford after a stint in Vancouver and started in net against a solid Gabriel Carriere.

The Canucks made some lineup adjustments, with Sammy Blais joining Aatu Räty and Linus Karlsson on the top line. Arshdeep Bains played on the wing alongside Max Sasson and Danila Klimovich, while Tristen Nielsen and Chase Wouters bookended Ty Mueller. Nate Smith centered Ty Glover and Cooper Walker to round out the offense.

On defense, Guillaume Brisebois remained paired with Cole McWard to start, while Christian Wolanin and Jett Woo continued as a duo. Akito Hirose slotted back in next to Kirill Kudryavtsev, setting the Canucks’ defensive lines for the night.

Looking to take an early lead and correct Friday’s mistakes, the Canucks came out strong. However, Jimmy Schuldt had other plans for San Jose, firing a wrister from the right circle past Šilovs seven minutes in to put the Barracuda up 1-0. The Canucks fought to respond, but some unlucky bounces and time in the penalty box created challenges. Around the 15-minute mark, Pavol Regenda capitalized on San Jose’s power play, extending their lead to 2-0 heading into the second period.

Some rough play at the end of the first meant Abbotsford started the middle frame down a man. But the Canucks found their spark, coming out swinging. Just a minute in, Max Sasson and Linus Karlsson broke free on a shorthanded 2-on-1. Sasson carried the puck down the left slot and sniped one past Carriere, putting Abbotsford on the board. A few minutes later, Colin White set up in front of the net and redirected a pass from Walker Duehr, restoring San Jose’s two-goal lead. The Canucks finally got their own power play opportunity shortly after and made it count. Danila Klimovich fired a sharp-angle shot, cutting the deficit to one again. Neither team found the back of the net for the rest of the period, and San Jose held a 3-2 lead heading into the final frame.

The next 20 minutes were crucial for Abbotsford, needing at least one more goal to force a tie. Less than four minutes in, Christian Wolanin capitalized on a Barracuda line change, sending a long pass to Tristen Nielsen, who buried it top shelf to even the score. Riding the momentum, the Canucks kept up the pressure, but a costly delay of game penalty gave San Jose another power play. Colin White took advantage, scoring his second goal of the night to put the Barracuda back on top, 4-3. With time running out, there was a must get goal on the line, and the Canucks didn't ease up. With less than 3 minutes left, Arshdeep Bains found Linus Karlsson parked in front, and passed it across for him to tip it in and force overtime. 

Forcing extra time, the Abbotsford Canucks were determined to take the two points. The teams exchanged chances, but it was ultimately Linus Karlsson that would net the game winning goal! Karlsson called game just over 3 minutes into the extra frame and the Canucks took home a 5-4 win over the San Jose Barracuda.

The team will take a day off before preparing to take on the Bakersfield Condors in a mid week series, and then the Calgary Wranglers once again next weekend.

The puck dropped on the final game of Abbotsford’s homestand as they faced the Calgary Wranglers for the 10th time this season.

Nikita Tolopilo returned to the crease for the Canucks, going head-to-head with Waltteri Ignatjew in Calgary’s net. 

Following a hard-fought shootout victory the night before, Abbotsford made a few tweaks to the lineup. The top three lines remained intact, with Arshdeep Bains, Max Sasson, and Linus Karlsson leading the charge. Jujhar Khaira stayed alongside Sammy Blais and Aatu Räty, while Ty Mueller continued centering Tristen Nielsen and Danila Klimovich. Phil Di Giuseppe returned to action, slotting in on the left wing with Chase Wouters and Nate Smith to round out the Canucks' forward group.

On the back end, Akito Hirose was paired with Cole McWard to start, while Christian Felton lined up with Christian Wolanin. Joe Arntsen also returned to the lineup, skating alongside Kirill Kudryavtsev.

The game opened with Calgary controlling early possession, registering a handful of shots before Abbotsford could respond. The Canucks found themselves shorthanded for four of the first 20 minutes, but Tolopilo stood tall, turning aside all 13 shots he faced. Ignatjew was equally solid in Calgary’s net, keeping the game scoreless heading into the second period.

Both teams came out looking to break the deadlock, and seven minutes in, Abbotsford got their first power play opportunity. With the faceoff already set in the offensive zone, it took just six seconds for Linus Karlsson to jam the puck through Ignatjew’s pads, giving the Canucks a 1-0 lead. The rest of the period saw Abbotsford spending more time shorthanded, including a 5-on-3 penalty kill, but Tolopilo and the defense held firm.

With twenty minutes left, Abbotsford aimed to extend their lead and secure the two points in regulation. Both teams exchanged chances, but the goaltenders continued to steal the show. As time wound down, Calgary pulled their goalie for the extra attacker, but the Canucks held strong. Tolopilo shut the door completely, earning a shutout and sealing a 1-0 victory.

With the win, Abbotsford swept the weekend series and extended their winning streak to five games. The team will now have a few days to recover before heading on the road to face the Manitoba Moose.

Abbotsford Canucks shutout the Calgary Wranglers 1-0

The Abbotsford Canucks kicked off their final homestand series with a St. Patrick’s Day showdown against the Calgary Wranglers.

Goaltender Ty Young earned back-to-back starts following his impressive 41-save performance in his last outing, facing off against Calgary’s Devin Cooley.

After a successful series against Bakersfield, Abbotsford stuck with an identical lineup. Arshdeep Bains, Max Sasson, and Linus Karlsson remained together as a trio, while Jujhar Khaira stayed on the right wing alongside Sammy Blais and Aatu Räty. Tristen Nielsen and Danila Klimovich bookended Ty Mueller, with Ty Glover, Chase Wouters, and Nate Smith rounding out the forward group.

The defensive pairings remained unchanged as well: Guillaume Brisebois with Cole McWard, Christian Wolanin alongside Jett Woo, and Akito Hirose paired with Kirill Kudryavtsev.

Heading into the matchup, the Wranglers sat in fourth place in the standings, with Abbotsford close behind in fifth, setting the stage for an intense battle.

The action started quickly, as Calgary struck just 1:07 into the game. Sam Morton fired the opening shot past Young, giving the Wranglers an early lead. Abbotsford looked to respond but found themselves on an early penalty kill, slowing their momentum. It wasn’t until the 15-minute mark that the Canucks got their second power play opportunity of the night. They registered a few shots before Max Sasson, from behind the net, found Arshdeep Bains in front. Bains buried the puck, tying the game at 1-1. Less than a minute later, Jujhar Khaira won a puck battle in the offensive zone, setting up Aatu Räty for a one-timer that found the back of the net, giving Abbotsford a 2-1 lead. However, the advantage was short-lived. Just a minute later, Rory Kerins lived up to his reputation and beat Young to knot the game at 2-2. With less than a minute remaining in the period, Clark Bishop put Calgary back on top, scoring to give the Wranglers a 3-2 lead heading into the second frame. The teams combined for five goals on just 12 shots in a fast-paced opening period.

The second period saw a shift in tempo. After the high-scoring first, both teams tightened up defensively. Abbotsford had two power-play opportunities and a stretch of 4-on-4 play, generating quality chances, but Devin Cooley stood tall for the Wranglers. Neither team found the back of the net, and Calgary maintained their 3-2 lead heading into the final period.

With 20 minutes left to play, Abbotsford needed a quick response. Just five minutes into the third, Aatu Räty fired a shot that trickled through Cooley’s legs and crossed the goal line before he could stop it, tying the game at 3-3. Energized by the equalizer, the Canucks pressed on. Minutes later, Max Sasson charged down the ice and dished a perfect pass back to Linus Karlsson, who was waiting in front to jam it home. Abbotsford had come from behind to take a 4-3 lead, shifting their focus to defense. As time dwindled, Calgary pulled their goaltender for an extra attacker. Abbotsford held strong, but in the dying seconds, Tyson Barrie fired a shot that found the back of the net with just six seconds remaining, forcing overtime with a 4-4 tie.

In overtime, the Canucks dominated possession and created several close chances, but a late penalty gave Calgary a power play for the remainder of the extra frame. The Wranglers nearly capitalized, but a close-range shot squeaked just wide, sending the game into a shootout.

The shootout rounds unfolded as follows:

ROUND 1:

Nielsen: ✅

Kerins: ❌

ROUND 2:

Klimovich: ❌

Poirier: ❌

ROUND 3:

Blais: ✅

With Blais securing the final goal, Abbotsford claimed a thrilling 5-4 shootout victory. They will face the Wranglers again tomorrow to close out their homestand before heading on the road to take on the Manitoba Moose.

ABBOTSFORD SECURES A 5-4 SHOOTOUT VICTORY OVER THE CALGARY WRANGLERS

The Abbotsford Canucks faced off against the Bakersfield Condors on First Nations Night, following a dominant performance yesterday.

Ty Young made his first start on home ice since mid-December, going head-to-head with Collin Delia.

After a strong showing last night, the Canucks opted for an unchanged lineup. Arshdeep Bains, Max Sasson, and Linus Karlsson started once again, while Jujhar Khaira remained on the right wing alongside Sammy Blais and Aatu Räty. Tristen Nielsen and Danila Klimovich bookended Ty Mueller, and the trio of Ty Glover, Chase Wouters, and Nate Smith stayed intact to round out the group of forwards.

On defense, the pairings remained the same, with Guillaume Brisebois and Cole McWard together, followed by Christian Wolanin and Jett Woo. Akito Hirose and Kirill Kudryavtsev rounded out the defensive unit in green.

The Canucks anticipated a tough battle, as the Condors were eager to respond after their previous loss. Abbotsford was fortunate to receive an early four-minute power play, but Collin Delia was locked in, keeping the Canucks off the scoreboard. A few minutes after the advantage expired, the Condors struck first. Following a net-front scramble, Alex Swetlikoff found the puck and buried it, giving Bakersfield a 1-0 lead seven and a half minutes into the game. The Canucks continued to apply pressure and generated several quality chances, but they couldn’t solve Delia before the end of the period.

To open the second period, Abbotsford was determined to respond before the game slipped away. Fortunately, they set up in the offensive zone early, and a long shot from Sammy Blais in the slot deflected off Aatu Räty’s stick, tying the game at 1-1. Despite struggling with penalties, the Canucks held strong on the penalty kill, keeping the Condors off the board. The score remained tied heading into the final frame.

The last twenty minutes were crucial. The teams traded chances at even strength for half the period, but it was Danila Klimovich who broke the deadlock, firing a shot from the right circle into the back of the net to give the Canucks their first lead of the game. With the lead in hand, Abbotsford shifted their focus to defense, determined to keep the Condors from equalizing. The home team took two more penalties, but Ty Young stood tall, making key saves to preserve the lead. With just under two minutes remaining, Delia went to the bench for the extra attacker. A last-second penalty against the Canucks gave the Condors an 18-second 6-on-4 advantage. However, Chase Wouters won a critical faceoff, and Abbotsford cleared the puck as time expired, sealing a 2-1 victory over Bakersfield.

Ty Young delivered a standout performance, stopping 41 of 42 shots and leading the Canucks to a sweep of the mid-week series.

The Canucks will now regroup ahead of the weekend as they prepare to take on the Calgary Wranglers for their St. Patrick’s Day game and Community Heroes Night.
