Soucy registered an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Soucy snapped a seven-game slump with the secondary assist on Kiefer Sherwood's first-period tally. The 30-year-old Soucy has had a subpar start to the season while filling a second-pairing role. He's picked up a meager two assists to go with 21 shots on net, 23 hits, 28 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 18 appearances. Without more offense, the blueliner won't be a player for fantasy managers to consider.

Canucks' Carson Soucy: Puts up helper in Game No. 300
Rotowire
Soucy logged an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Playing in his 300th career game, Soucy was able to get on the scoresheet when he helped out on Pius Suter's go-ahead tally in the final minute. This was Soucy's first point in 10 outings this season. The 30-year-old defenseman has seen steady second-pairing usage, but he doesn't get much power-play time, instead featuring in a shutdown role. He's added nine shots on net, 11 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. He's reached the 20-point mark in just one of his NHL campaigns, so Soucy doesn't offer much in the way of scoring upside.

Canucks' Carson Soucy: Lights lamp Friday
Rotowire
Soucy scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-1 preseason win over the Oilers.
This was a good example of Soucy at his best. He got involved in the offense, with his tally being the game-winning goal, but he also chipped in with physicality as he often does. The 30-year-old is likely to be paired with Tyler Myers to begin 2024-25. Last season, Soucy was limited to six points in 40 games while adding 65 hits and 64 blocked shots in a similar second-pairing role.

Canucks' Carson Soucy: Suspension served
Rotowire
Soucy will be eligible to face Edmonton in Game 5 on Thursday after serving his one-game suspension.
Soucy was forced to watch from the press box after getting handed a one-game suspension for cross-checking Oilers' Connor McDavid in the face in Game 3. Through nine postseason contests, the 29-year-old defenseman has generated four assists, 27 hits and nine blocks, though he has yet to register a shot on goal.

Soucy received a two-minute penalty for cross-checking McDavid at the 20-minute mark of the third period in the Canucks' 4-3 win over the Oilers on Sunday.

Canucks' Carson Soucy: Gets two helpers in victory
Rotowire
Soucy collected two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over Edmonton in Game 1.
The Canucks were down 4-1 after Zach Hyman scored at 13:11 of the second period, but Soucy helped out on the next two markers to get the comeback started. Although the 29-year-old Soucy was noteworthy offensively against the Oilers, that's a rare occurrence for him. He had just six points (two goals) in 40 regular-season contests in 2023-24, and his last multi-point effort came Nov. 2 when Vancouver earned a 10-1 victory over San Jose. He has three assists in seven playoff outings this year.

Canucks' Carson Soucy: Gets on scoresheet with assist
Rotowire
Soucy notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.
The helper was Soucy's first point in 23 games since he returned from a hand injury in early March. The 29-year-old defenseman has been a steady presence in the lineup since his return, but he plays a physical game in a bottom-four role that hasn't led to much room for scoring. Soucy had a mediocre six points with 29 shots on net, 65 hits and 64 blocked shots over 40 regular-season appearances.

Soucy was already on regular injured reserve, and he's already missed the 10 games and 24 days necessary for LTIR. The 29-year-old defenseman is not expected back until early March, but this move could free up the salary space for the Canucks to make some trades in the near future.

Canucks' Carson Soucy: On LTIR
Rotowire
Soucy (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Friday.
Soucy isn't expected to return until late December at the earliest anyway, so shifting him to LTIR makes sense. It provides Vancouver with some cap flexibility and frees up a roster spot, which the Canucks used to summon Cole McWard from AHL Abbotsford. Soucy, who last played Nov. 12, has two goals, five points, 16 hits and 26 blocks in 13 contests this season.
