Suter notched a goal, two penalty minutes, four shots and a hit in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Suter has found the back of the net in two of his last three appearances, but he's not expected to have a lot of opportunities to produce as a fourth-line center. He might light the lamp here and there, but fantasy managers shouldn't trust in him to deliver sustained production going forward.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Deposits goal in win
Rotowire
Suter scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Suter got his first goal of the season in the third period. The 28-year-old forward has two points, five shots on net, five hits, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating across five appearances. Suter is likely to remain in a bottom-six role throughout the year, and he'll need to keep the quality of his play up to avoid being an occasional healthy scratch.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Nabs helper in season debut
Rotowire
Suter posted an assist in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Suter dealt with an upper-body injury to begin October, but it cost him only one regular-season contest. The 28-year-old played as a bottom-six winger Friday. He has experience at center, but the Canucks seem intent on giving rookie Aatu Raty some runway down the middle. Suter has finished between 24 and 36 points in all four of his NHL campaigns, so he doesn't offer much scoring upside, especially if he receives minimal power-play time.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Set to play Friday
Rotowire
Suter (upper body) will play against the Flyers on Friday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Suter sat out Wednesday's regular-season opener against Calgary after being considered a game-time decision, but he'll be able to make his season debut against Philadelphia. Over 67 regular-season appearances with the Canucks last year, he logged 14 goals and 29 points while averaging 15:30 of ice time.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Out of action Wednesday
Rotowire
Suter (upper body) won't play versus the Flames on Wednesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Suter was considered a game-time decision, but he didn't take the ice for warmups. The 28-year-old forward will miss the season opener, and Aatu Raty will fill a bottom-six role in his stead. Suter's next chance to play is Friday versus the Flyers.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Game-time call Wednesday
Rotowire
Suter (upper body) will be a game-time decision versus Calgary on Wednesday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
Suter did some work in his usual third-line role in the lead-up to Wednesday's tilt, but it appears he isn't quite 100 percent. The 28-year-old center appeared in just 67 games last season due to injury but still managed to reach the 14-goal mark, a threshold he's reached in all four of his NHL campaigns, despite playing on three different teams in his short career. If he can't go, Aatu Raty will step into the lineup in Suter's stead.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Remains out Friday
Rotowire
Suter (upper body) won't play Friday versus the Oilers, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Suter will be out for the Canucks' preseason finale, putting his status for Wednesday's season opener in doubt as well. The 28-year-old forward's absence is at least partially offset by the return of Teddy Blueger (lower body), who will suit up Friday.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Dealing with upper-body issue
Rotowire
Suter is day-to-day after suffering an upper-body injury, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports Wednesday.
Suter has scored at least 14 goals in each of his four NHL seasons despite having played for three different teams over that stretch. If he can get back to 100 percent and avoid any injury stretches, he should be a near-lock to reach the 30-point threshold considering he fell one point shy of that mark last year despite logging just 67 regular-season appearances.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Being evaluated
Rotowire
Suter (undisclosed) is being evaluated after getting hurt in Monday's exhibition contest against Edmonton, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Suter still could be an option for Friday's preseason finale against Edmonton. If he isn't available to play against Calgary on Oct. 9, Nils Aman may replace him in the Opening Night lineup. The 28-year-old Suter notched 14 goals and 29 points in 67 games during the 2023-24 regular season.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Registers helper in win
Rotowire
Suter logged an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.
Suter set up the second of Brock Boeser's tallies in the first period. Through nine playoff outings, Suter's scoring contributions have been rather limited -- he has two goals and one assist, along with 19 shots on net. The 27-year-old can handle top-six minutes, but he's unlikely to produce offense at that level on a regular basis, and he doesn't make up for it with physical play that would bolster his fantasy standing.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Scores in Friday's win
Rotowire
Suter scored a goal on five shots in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.
Suter's goal with 1:39 left in the third period was the only goal in the contest. That was also the series-clinching tally, setting up the Canucks for a second-round matchup with the Oilers. Suter scored twice on 14 shots and added six hits over six first-round appearances while filling a middle-six role. The 27-year-old is well regarded as a defensive forward, and he may be deployed in that nature frequently in the next round against a high-powered offense.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Offers helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Suter notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Suter forced a turnover and sent J.T. Miller in on a breakaway for a third-period tally. With a goal and an assist over his last two games, Suter is finding a little more success on offense after a stretch where he had just one helper over 12 appearances. The 27-year-old forward is at 29 points, 103 shots on net, 53 hits and a plus-17 rating through 66 outings overall.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Scores in win
Rotowire
Suter scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers.
Suter snapped a 12-game goal drought with his second-period tally off a feed from Tyler Myers. The 27-year-old Suter's scoring slump has seen him lose ice time lately, though he was listed on the second line for Saturday's contest. He's at 14 goals, 14 assists, 100 shots on net, 53 hits and a plus-16 rating through 65 appearances this season.
Suter scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Jets.
Suter set up Nils Hoglander at 13:47 of the first period before icing the cake with a goal of his own in the third. Suter got his first goal since his Jan. 24 hat trick versus the Blues, but he had a solid eight helpers over the 17 games between tallies. The 27-year-old is up to 13 goals, 13 assists, 83 shots on net, 36 hits and a plus-18 rating over 52 appearances. Suter could draw some fantasy interest in deeper formats as long as he's seeing time on the top line at even strength.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Records power-play helper
Rotowire
Suter notched a power-play assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.
Suter had a modest February, racking up six helpers and 17 shots on goal across 13 contests. He hasn't scored since his hat trick Jan. 24 versus the Blues. The 27-year-old is still seeing top-six minutes alongside J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser, but Suter is the most likely to be shuffled off of that line, especially with the Canucks struggling lately. Suter has 24 points in 48 appearances this season, matching his total from 79 contests a year ago. He's added 76 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-16 rating.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Manages assist in loss
Rotowire
Suter notched an assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.
Suter took a shot that pinballed in off Sam Lafferty for the Canucks' second goal. The helper was Suter's fourth over the last three games following a run of four contests without a point in the middle of the month. The 27-year-old forward is at 23 points, 74 shots on net, 31 hits and a plus-17 rating through 45 appearances. Suter lost his spot on the second line to Arshdeep Bains for this contest, but Suter is likely better suited to a top-six job in the long run.
Suter collected three assists during Monday's 10-7 loss to the Wild.
Prior to the three-point performance, Suter was held to just one point in his previous seven contests, which came after a hot streak of six points in a three-game span. He can be a streaky scorer, but playing in the top six gives him ample opportunity. Suter is up to 22 points in 43 appearances this season.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Two helpers in overtime win
Rotowire
Suter notched two assists and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Suter helped out on two of Brock Boeser's three goals in the game. With four goals and two helpers over his last three contests, Suter has made the most of his move to the second line and first power-play unit. He has ample fantasy value in that role if he can maintain it. For the season, the 27-year-old forward has 12 goals, six helpers, 59 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 35 outings.
