LATEST | Positive update regarding Carson Soucy & Ilya Mikheyev

According to Thomas Drance of The Athletic, defenceman Carson Soucy and forward Ilya Mikheyev were total participants in practice, wearing regular sweaters, likely signalling they are close to returning to the lineup.

Drance also shared what the line combinations looked like at Monday's practice. Carson Soucy was skating on the third pair with Noah Juulsen, while Ilya Mikheyev was rotating on the fourth line, but it doesn't appear that he'll be playing tomorrow night.

Soucy has yet to make his Vancouver Canucks debut after suffering a lower-body injury in the team's preseason finale against the Calgary Flames. Initially, he was expected to be out week-to-week, but late last week, Rick Tocchet said he's more 'day-to-day.'

As for Ilya Mikheyev, he hasn't played since last season on January 23rd against the Seattle Kraken. He suffered an ACL injury during preseason in 2022 but played through it until January when the team shut him down and underwent surgery in early February.

A note for Canucks fans, puck drop for Tuesday night's game against the Flyers is now at 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET, as it was moved one hour ahead by the NHL on Friday.
