Status report
Sharangovich, a forward, was placed on injured reserve Monday and is week to week; he was injured late in the Flames' final preseason game on Friday. … Honzek will make his NHL debut in Sharangovich’s spot on the top line. ... Canucks coach Rick Tocchet indicated Raty could play in place of Suter, who he said is “not 100 percent” but “could play.” … Demko, a goalie, has been skating since training camp as he continues to recover from an injury sustained in the first game of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs but there is no timeline for his return. … Joshua, a forward who had successful surgery during the offseason, is skating on his own and will join Vancouver on a four-game road trip that starts at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.
