The Vancouver Canucks have made roster moves due to injuries and suspensions. Carson Soucy has been placed on IR after a setback, leading to the call-up of defenseman Jett Woo from the AHL. Woo is set to join the team on the road, potentially making his NHL regular-season debut in Chicago. Coach Tocchet praised Hoglander's performance, emphasizing his strong effort and commitment to the team. The Canucks are adapting to the challenges with a focus on player development and team systems.
Tocchet on Woo recall: "He's here because of injuries and Zadorov suspended. He's been playing really well. It's important to have minor-league guys come up and practise. Our organization is not scared to have eight defencemen on the roster. It really goes a long way." #Canucks
Tocchet asked for fitness, focus, faith in process. He got it. βIt wasnβt just a snap (of the fingers) in camp. But the players were asking for team systems. Right away, thatβs the buy-in.β #Canucks https://t.co/biJAAIXERy
Woo could make his NHL regular-season debut in Chicago, or just be insurance. #Canucks https://t.co/n4xq8t8mf3
π₯ Coach Montgomery on today's #NHLBruins practice: "The things that we want, our standard of how we compete, the pace we want to practice with and the attention to detail...I thought we accomplished all of that." https://t.co/lAAEVQfMYx
just to be clear, Soucy was never placed on IR with this latest injury. So he was always on active roster despite being hurt. To get Woo to #NHL, #Canucks had to create roster spot. That's why Soucy went on IR today
D Jett Woo has been called up by the #Canucks. Woo is on his way to join the team on the road. Be a long journey for Woo, lots of ups and downs since being drafted, good to see him get the call.
Looks like a setback for Carson Soucy, who had been skating with club, and is now on IR. Jett Woo has been recalled from the AHL affiliate in Abbotsford. Soucy suffered a hand injury Jan. 20 against the Leafs on a second-period attempt to stop a Mitch Marner shot. #Canucks
