Abbotsford Canucks Sign Two Defencemen Amid Injuries and Losing Streak
The Abbotsford Canucks, this year’s Calder Cup champions, face the San Jose Barracuda with crucial reinforcements after nearly a month without a win. The team is enduring a franchise-record 10-game losing streak, partly caused by multiple players placed on injured reserve.
Key players such as Jett Woo and Guillaume Brisebois remain sidelined. Additionally, goalkeepers Nikita Tolopilo and Ty Young have also been injured. Jiri Patera was temporarily called up to serve as an emergency goalie for the Vancouver Canucks, creating a gap now filled by AHL rookie Jonathan Lemieux.
New Defence Additions
General Manager Ryan Johnson announced two new defensemen signed on professional try-out agreements (PTO):
- Jake Murray, 23 years old, recently completed three ECHL seasons, tallying seven goals and 41 assists in 107 regular-season games.
- Phip Waugh, 25 years old, who has recorded five goals and nine assists over 53 ECHL games.
These new signings aim to strengthen the struggling roster as the Canucks prepare for Armed Forces Night on November 11 against San Jose.
“The Abbotsford Canucks look to bounce back with their experimental roster for Armed Forces Night.”
Author's summary: The Abbotsford Canucks bolster their depleted defense with two new signings amid a 10-game losing streak and numerous injuries, seeking to regain momentum quickly.
