Nils Åman has been assigned to the Abbotsford Canucks after clearing waivers, a decision made to provide him with more playing time. The 24-year-old center has struggled to secure a regular spot in the NHL, having played only four games this season and remaining a healthy scratch for much of it. Despite not yet establishing himself as an everyday NHL player, he possesses valuable skills, including effective penalty-killing and physical play. Åman has a history of success in the AHL, where he scored 15 points in 15 games last season, and is expected to contribute offensively with Abbotsford's young roster.

Nils Aman played a pivotal role in Vancouver's victory by assisting on Quinn Hughes' controversial goal, which was scored after a faceoff that the Panthers believed should have been ruled a hand pass. This play contributed to Vancouver taking a 2-1 lead in the second period.

Nils Aman will likely be relegated to the fourth line with Hoglander, Sherwood, Podkolzin, or DiGiuseppe.

Nils Aman returns to the Vancouver Canucks lineup for Game 6 against the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference Second Round.

Nils Aman, playing his third playoff game, was part of an effective fourth line with Di Giuseppe and Podkolzin, contributing to an aggressive Canucks penalty kill and holding a 7-4 edge in shot attempts at 5-on-5.
