Arturs Silovs of the Vancouver Canucks is set for a larger role with the absence of starter Thatcher Demko due to injury. Silovs gained recognition during last season’s playoffs for both his performance and his unique style.

Having transitioned from a third-string goalie to a key player, he secured his first NHL shutout and demonstrated resilience under pressure. As Silovs prepares for the upcoming season, he reflects on his experiences and the necessity of mental and physical readiness.

With confidence stemming from past challenges, Silovs aims to lead the Canucks as they look to improve from last year’s playoff exit.
