Nikita Tolopilo

25-Year-Old GoalieG
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tolopilo jumped up to the No. 4 spot on the organizational depth chart in 2024-25, making two appearances with Vancouver and 36 regular-season outings with AHL Abbotsford. In the minors, he went 20-14-2 with a 2.66 GAA and a .902 save percentage. With Arturs Silovs heading to the Penguins this summer, Tolopilo is now the Canucks' No. 3 goalie behind Thatcher Demko and Kevin Lankinen. Demko's had plenty of injuries, so Tolopilo could definitely get a look with the big club again in 2025-26, though fantasy managers can afford to see how he performs. Read Past Outlooks

Tolopilo stopped 20 of 23 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.
ANALYSIS
Tolopilo was beaten twice in the first period and once more in the second, but the win was never in doubt after the Canucks added three goals in the final frame. This was Tolopilo's first win since a 2-0 victory over the Ducks on Jan. 29. Between both wins, the 25-year-old netminder had posted a 0-2-2 record with a 3.37 GAA. As the backup goaltender of one of the worst teams in the NHL, however, Tolopilo shouldn't have a lot of fantasy appeal (if any) in most formats.
