Artūrs Šilovs Rise With The Canucks!
Artūrs Šilovs is making a name for himself in the 2024 NHL Playoffs!
The rookie netminder from Riga, Latvia has been a bright spot for the Vancouver Canucks in their playoff run this spring. Šilovs has stepped up for the Canucks with four wins, including one shutout, in six playoff appearances. His latest work saw him stop a career-high 42 of 45 shots, which helped the Canucks take game three against the Edmonton Oilers 4-3.
“Everyone was resilient. Blocking shots. Really high scoring chances they had and our guys managed to block a lot of them.”
