The Vancouver Canucks started their third different goaltender in their first-round playoff series against the Predators, as rookie Arturs Silovs made his NHL postseason debut Sunday in Game 4 at Nashville.
Silovs, 23, who went 3-0-1 in four starts this season with a 2.47 goals-against average and an .881 save percentage, was backed up Sunday by Nikita Tolopilo, who has not played in the NHL.
All-Star Thatcher Demko got the nod in Vancouver’s Game 1 win but is week-to-week with an unspecified injury. Casey DeSmith started Vancouver’s Game 2 loss and picked up his first playoff victory in Game 3. In that win, DeSmith was hit by Predators forward Michael McCarron behind the net.
McCarron was fined $2,000 by the NHL on Saturday.
Silvos, a sixth-round pick in the 2019 draft, is 6-2-1 with a 2.62 GAA and an .898 save percentage in nine career games.
