Joshua tallied a goal and two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
Joshua got Vancouver on the board in the opening minute of the second period, beating Stuart Skinner off a rebound, before adding a pair of assists later in the contest.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Hangs on in comeback win
Silovs stopped 14 of 18 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over the Oilers in Game 1.
It was a rough start to the game for Silovs, who allowed four goals on Edmonton's first 14 shots. However, the Oilers mustered only eight shots over the final two frames as the Canucks rallied with four unanswered goals to claim a 5-4 series-opening win. Silovs has won three of four starts in the postseason, posting a .908 save percentage. However, Casey DeSmith seems likely to start Game 2 on Friday after he was healthy enough to back up Silovs on Wednesday.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Ready to rock for Game 1
Pettersson (illness) will play Wednesday in Game 1 versus the Oilers, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
Pettersson should slot into his usual spots on the second line and first power-play unit Wednesday. The 25-year-old pivot was a bit pedestrian in the first round against the Predators, picking up just three helpers across six outings after racking up 34 goals and 89 points through 82 regular-season contests.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Making fourth straight start
Silovs was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, per Kevin Woodley of NHL.com, putting him on track to guard the home crease versus Edmonton in Game 1 on Wednesday.
Silovs was excellent after being thrust into action in the first round versus Nashville due to injuries to Thatcher Demko (knee) and Casey DeSmith, who is now healthy but was dealing with a lower-body injury. Silovs went 2-1-0 while posting an impressive 1.70 GAA and .938 save percentage through three appearances against the Predators. The Connor McDavid-led Oilers offense racked up 22 goals through five games in the first round versus Winnipeg, so Silovs will likely be tested early and often Wednesday.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Under the weather
Pettersson isn't practicing Tuesday due to an illness, leaving his status for Wednesday's Game 1 versus Edmonton in doubt, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
After racking up 34 goals and 89 points through 82 regular-season outings, Pettersson was a bit of a disappointment during Vancouver's first-round series win over the Predators, picking up three helpers while firing just eight shots on net through six contests. Another update on his status for Game 1 will likely surface following Wednesday's morning skate.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Still unavailable
Demko (knee) won't be available for the start of Vancouver's second-round series against Edmonton, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Demko, who is considered week-to-week, sat out the final five contests of the Canucks' first-round series versus Nashville. It remains unclear when he will be available to return. During Demko's absence, Casey DeSmith and Arturs Silovs have shared time between the pipes. The 23-year-old Silovs could make his fourth straight start in Game 1 versus the Oilers on Wednesday.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Snags assist Friday
Pettersson logged an assist in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.
Pettersson failed to score a goal in the first round, and he's now gone nine contests without a tally. He showed some life with an assist in three of the last four games, but the Canucks will hope for a lot more from one of their top players entering a more difficult second-round matchup with the Oilers. In addition to the three assists, Pettersson had eight shots on net, nine hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over six appearances in the first round.

Canucks' Brock Boeser: Earns helper in Game 6 win
Boeser logged an assist, three shots on goal and four PIM in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.
Boeser was productive in the first round, picking up four goals, two assists, 16 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over six contests, highlighted by his hat trick in Game 4. The winger set up Pius Suter for the lone tally in Game 6 as well. Boeser will continue to be a key part of the Canucks' offense heading into a second-round matchup with the Oilers that could lead to high-scoring clashes.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Scores in Friday's win
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' Arturs Silovs: Clinches series with shutout
Silovs posted a 28-save shutout in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.
Silovs was dialed in from the start, earning his first NHL shutout to secure a 4-2 series win for the Canucks. The 23-year-old has allowed just five goals on 80 shots over three appearances since taking over for Casey DeSmith in goal beginning with Game 4. If Silovs continues to operate as the starter in the second round, he'll find a much more challenging task ahead versus the Oilers.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Slated to start
Silovs was the first goalie to leave the ice at morning skate, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll tend the twine for Game 6 on Friday on the road against the Predators.
Silovs will make his third straight appearance in goal for the Canucks, having gone 1-1 with a 2.57 GAA and a .904 save percentage in his previous two outings. Despite having just 11 games of NHL experience, coach Rick Tocchet will stick with the 23-year-old Silovs ahead of Casey DeSmith for the time being.

Podkolzin figures to suit up with the minor-league club for its Calder Cup matchup with AHL Ontario on Wednesday before likely being recalled ahead of Vancouver's Game 6 clash with the Predators on Friday.
