Willander (lower body) is expected to miss Thursday's game against Winnipeg, per Canucks play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor.
Willander has three assists, four PIM, 10 hits and 17 blocks in 16 appearances with Vancouver in 2026-27. He also missed Tuesday's clash against Anaheim due to the injury. His next opportunity to play will come Saturday in Edmonton.

Willander (lower body) tweaked something in Tuesday's morning skate and won't play versus the Ducks, Canucks play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor reports.
Guillaume Brisebois will enter the lineup for Willander. The 21-year-old Willander is day-to-day for now, and he hasn't been ruled out for Thursday's game in Winnipeg. He's earned three assists over 16 appearances this season.

Willander notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Willander has opened the season in a top-four role and on the second power-play unit. The 21-year-old defenseman has earned three assists, three blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over three contests. There's risk involved in rostering a Vancouver defenseman in fantasy, but Willander has some breakout potential after a 21-point campaign as a rookie in sheltered minutes last year.

Willander appears likely to make the Canucks' Opening Night roster for the 2026-27 season, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports Monday.
Willander will still need to make an impression during training camp in September as he pushes for a spot on the Opening Night roster, but Drance suggests that the blueliner's development would benefit most by playing at the NHL level. The 21-year-old Willander made 70 regular-season appearances last year in his first taste of NHL action, recording five goals, 16 assists, 78 blocked shots, 35 hits and 28 PIM while averaging 16:59 of ice time.

Willander tallied a goal, put two shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Willander found the back of the net for his fifth goal of the season in Thursday's clash. He's posted solid numbers for a rookie campaign with 20 points, 53 shots on net, 25 hits and 70 blocked shots across 63 appearances. The 21-year-old blueliner has a point in back-to-back games and is skating on Vancouver's second defensive pairing. He's an intriguing player to add in deep dynasty-based fantasy leagues, as his rookie campaign has been a solid audition for a larger role next season.

Willander notched an assist and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.
Willander has a pair of helpers over eight outings in March. He's gotten a chance to play regularly in a top-four role, and that should remain available to him down the stretch. The 21-year-old rookie has 18 points, 46 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 55 appearances for a decent first impression in the NHL.
