Canucks call up Silovs after big win in Abbotsford

Another day, another Vancouver Canucks goalie move.

On Monday, the team announced that goaltender Ty Young has been sent down to the AHL. The move was followed by fellow netminder Arturs Silovs being called up from Abbotsford.

Silov’s AHL stint was brief as the Canucks sent him down to call up top prospect Jonathan Lekkerimaki in a Sunday morning roster move that involved five players.

The 23-year-old got the start in Abbotsford’s 4-2 win against the Bakersfield Condors, logging a .920 SV%

Silovs has seen a rough start to his NHL season, though. The Latvia native is 0-2-1 with Vancouver this year, posting a 3.17 GAA and .876 SV%.

The Canucks will host the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night.
