Date News Advice
Nov. 19, 2024 Joshua notched an assist, five hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers. - The helper was Joshua's first point over four contests since he recovered from testicular cancer surgery. The 28-year-old winger has done what he does best since his return, doling out 14 hits. He can chip in some depth scoring as well after a 32-point campaign in 2023-24, but it'll be hits and PIM that supplement his production for fantasy purposes. None
Nov. 14, 2024 Joshua (cancer) will make his 2024-25 season debut against the Islanders on Thursday, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports. - Joshua looks set to take on a fourth-line role but could work his way up the lineup as he gets back to full speed. Given his lengthy stint on the sidelines, the winger will likely need some time to readjust but could still challenge for the 30-point mark after hitting that threshold for the first time last year. None
Nov. 6, 2024 Joshua (groin) won't play Thursday versus LA, per Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet. - Joshua also didn't practice Wednesday, but coach Rick Tocchet said the 28-year-old hasn't suffered a setback. Instead, the Canucks are simply being cautious with Joshua, who hasn't played in 2024-25. It remains to be seen when Joshua might return to the lineup, but when he is ready, he'll likely serve in a bottom-six role. None
Oct. 19, 2024 Joshua (groin) practiced in a non-contact jersey Saturday, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports. - While Joshua is still a ways off from game action, it's an incredibly positive sign to see the winger practicing after he underwent surgery for testicular cancer in the offseason. Joshua logged 18 goals and 32 points, both career highs, in 63 games during the 2023-24 regular season. None
Oct. 8, 2024 Joshua (groin) will join the Canucks on their upcoming four-game road trip and could start skating during that time, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports Tuesday. - While Joshua's return to the ice will certainly be a significant step in the right direction, he will likely have several more hurdles to clear, including absorbing contact in practice. Once the winger is ready to play, he should be in contention for a second-line role, though Daniel Sprong and Conor Garland will likely also have something to say about that. None
Oct. 7, 2024 Joshua (testicular cancer) has resumed skating and is likely a few weeks away from returning, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports Monday. - Joshua underwent surgery for testicular cancer in September, and the Canucks have been hopeful that he'll be able to return to action this season. It's encouraging that he's been back on the ice recently, but he'll likely need to ramp up before he's in the mix to return to game action. The 28-year-old made 63 regular-season appearances for Vancouver last year and logged 18 goals and 32 points while averaging 14:23 of ice time. None
Sept. 17, 2024 Joshua successfully underwent surgery for testicular cancer but won't be ready for the start of training camp, per the Canucks' release Tuesday. - Joshua's statement acknowledged that he wouldn't be ready for training camp but was still hoping to return to action this season. Given the uncertainty regarding his timeline, the winger figures to start the year on long-term injured reserve. Without Joshua in the mix for a roster spot Opening Night, camp invitee Sammy Blais could earn himself a contract with a strong showing. None
June 27, 2024 Joshua agreed to terms on a four-year, $13 million contract with Vancouver on Thursday. - Joshua is coming off a career year in which he set new personal bests in goals (18), assists (14) and shots (84) despite playing in just 63 regular-season games. If he can stay healthy in 2024-25, the 28-year-old winger should be capable of topping both the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds. Given his offensive upside, Joshua could be in the mix for power-play minutes during the campaign, a role that would further bolster his fantasy value. None
May 14, 2024 Joshua scored a goal, added nine hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4. - Joshua scored late in the third period, but it wasn't late enough to prevent the Oilers from answering to get the win. The 27-year-old Joshua has eight points over 10 playoff outings, but six of them have come in a pair of three-point efforts, making him inconsistent with his contributions on offense.

April 28, 2024 Joshua notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4. - Joshua started the playoffs with a three-point effort in Game 1, but his offense went cold until he helped out on Elias Lindholm's game-winning tally Sunday.

He remains a physical presence on the Canucks' third line, though he's also proven capable of chipping in with depth scoring. None
April 21, 2024 Joshua scored twice, dished an assist, went plus-3 and doled out six hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Predators in Game 1. - Joshua was the only player on either team to have multiple points in the series opener. The winger had six multi-point efforts during the regular season, which saw him rack up a career-best 32 points (18 goals, 14 assists), 84 shots on net, 245 hits and 60 PIM over 63 appearances. Joshua remains in a third-line role, but his hard-nosed playing style should be well-suited to the first-round matchup with Nashville and the playoffs as a whole. None

April 8, 2024 Joshua logged an assist, two shots on goal and eight hits in Monday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights. - Joshua has four points, 37 hits and a plus-2 rating over six contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. He spent much of the campaign on the third line, but he's received an extended look alongside J.T. Miller since his return.

March 31, 2024 Joshua scored a pair of goals in Sunday's 3-2 win over Anaheim. - Joshua extended Vancouver's lead to 2-0 on a power play midway through the second period, beating Lukas Dostal with a nifty between-the-legs shot for his first goal on the man advantage this year. The 27-year-old Joshua would then tally the eventual game-winner with 2:13 left in the third, burying a net-front feed from Conor Garland to put the Canucks ahead 3-2. Joshua has seen steady usage alongside Garland and J.T. Miller on Vancouver's second line in two games since returning from an 18-game stint on IR. He's up to 15 goals and 28 points, both career highs, through 55 games this season. None

He was last in the lineup Feb. 13. The 27-year-old is projected to serve on the second line alongside J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser in his return, but Joshua might not be deployed on the power play. None
March 27, 2024 Joshua (upper body) could be an option versus Dallas on Thursday, telling reporters, "Yeah, possibly. I'm not sure yet. We'll talk about it and see how the morning goes, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650. - At this point, Joshua should probably be considered a game-time decision heading into Thursday's tilt, though the fact that he skated in a second-line role Wednesday would be a strong indication he's nearing a return. If he does suit up against the Stars, it would be the 27-year-old winger's first appearance since Feb. 13 versus Chicago -- a game in which he racked up three points. None
March 24, 2024 Joshua (upper body) practiced in a non-contact jersey Sunday. - Joshua is on long-term injured reserve and hasn't played since Feb. 13.

March 12, 2024 Joshua (upper body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday. - Joshua has already missed more than the 10 games and 24 days of action required to qualify to return from LTIR, so this move won't change his return timetable.

Feb. 21, 2024 Joshua (upper body) was put on injured reserve Wednesday. - The move can be retroactive to Feb. 13, so Joshua can be activated whenever he's healthy.

He has 13 goals, 26 points, 46 PIM and 191 hits in 53 outings in 2023-24. None

Nov. 24, 2023 Joshua scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kraken. - Joshua snapped a five-game point drought with his second-period tally, which held up as the game-winner.

The 27-year-old winger has three points, 32 hits, 11 shots on net, 13 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 11 appearances. He'll likely continue to see fairly steady bottom-six minutes, though he needs to remain a physical force to stay on head coach Rick Tocchet's good side. None
Nov. 4, 2023 Joshua logged an assist and seven hits in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Stars. - Joshua was scratched for Thursday's 10-1 blowout win over the Sharks, but head coach Rick Tocchet put him back in the lineup just one game later.

April 4, 2023 Joshua notched an assist, two PIM and five hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken. - Joshua has been solid lately with two goals and three helpers over his last seven games.

The 26-year-old's seven hits matched his season high, and it's his physicality that keeps him on the fringe of fantasy rosters in deep formats.

Joshua has added 159 hits, 53 shots on net, 54 PIM and a minus-15 rating. None

While he's already secured a career year in most areas, he's still not productive enough to help in a majority of fantasy formats. None

Jan. 25, 2023 Joshua picked up an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken. - Joshua has a goal and an assist over his last two games -- he's had a hot start in the Rick Tocchet era. The 26-year-old Joshua is up to 11 points, 42 shots on net, 107 hits, 50 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 45 contests. His physical play could make him worth a look in deep fantasy formats if he can keep up this offense, but it's not expected that will happen. None
Jan. 24, 2023 Joshua scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and logged five PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks. - This was Joshua's first goal since he scored twice versus the Sharks on Dec. 7.

Dec. 3, 2022 Joshua (undisclosed) won't play Saturday versus the Coyotes, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Joshua was initially set to move up to the third line and see power-play time, but it appears he has a minor injury.

Nov. 16, 2022 Joshua scored a goal during 11:21 of ice time during Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Sabres. - Joshua opened the scoring Tuesday after getting help from his fourth-line mates. William Lockwood, an AHL call-up, initially won a puck battle behind the net.

It was the 26-year-old center's first goal (and point) in five outings. Joshua, who has just three shots in his past seven games, converted on his lone shot Tuesday. None
Nov. 3, 2022 Joshua scored a goal, logged seven PIM and added four hits in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Ducks. - Joshua tallied the first of eight goals between the two teams in the third period. He also fought Nathan Beaulieu in the first period. Joshua's game is more grit that offense -- he's up to two goals, one assist, 21 PIM, 27 hits, 13 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 11 contests. He won't get many chances to put up points while playing in a fourth-line role. None

None

May 11, 2022 Joshua was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Wednesday. - Although he'll head to the minors for now, it wouldn't be surprising to see Joshua back with the big club for Thursday's Game 6 against the Wild.

The 25-year-old forward is up to eight points, 31 shots, 77 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 30 appearances. None
April 21, 2022 Joshua scored a goal and added four hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Sharks. - Joshua tallied at 5:18 of the first period to tie the game at 1-1, answering an early goal from Noah Gregor.

April 15, 2022 Joshua was promoted from AHL Springfield on Friday. - Joshua will fill the empty roster spot left by Mackenzie MacEachern's (upper body) placement on long-term injured reserve.

Feb. 12, 2022 Joshua scored a goal and added three hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks. - Joshua's tally at 11:31 of the first period stood as the game-winner in a lopsided matchup. He's played in the Blues' last two games, relegating Tyler Bozak to healthy-scratch status. Joshua has two goals, three assists, 16 shots on net, 52 hits and a plus-6 rating in limited action, though the veteran Bozak should eventually return to at least a timeshare for the fourth-line center spot if all of the Blues' forwards stay healthy. None

Jan. 14, 2022 The Blues recalled Joshua from AHL Springfield on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports. - Joshua joins the roster as a replacement for Pavel Buchnevich (COVID-19). The 25-year-old has four points in 17 games this season and should play a bottom-line role for however long Buchnevich is unavailable. None
Jan. 3, 2022 Joshua (COVID-19 protocols) was demoted to the taxi squad Monday. - This transaction likely indicates that Joshua cleared protocols before being sent to the taxi squad. The 25-year-old last suited up with the Blues on Dec. 19. None

The physical forward will remain among the top options to be called up should injuries strike in St. Louis. None
Nov. 10, 2021 Joshua was brought up from the minors Wednesday. - With the Blues opting to send Jake Neighbours back to the OHL, Joshua will take the open roster spot, at least for the time being. The 25-year-old Joshua is pointless in his three games for St. Louis this year but has put up solid production in the minors with the Thunderbirds (four points in seven games). Joshua should be in the mix for a spot in the lineup at least until Brayden Schenn (upper body) or Kyle Clifford (COVID-19 protocols) is cleared to return. None
Nov. 5, 2021 Joshua was assigned to AHL Springfield on Friday. - Torey Krug entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Friday, so the Blues needed to send Joshua to the minors in order to open up a spot for defenseman Calle Rosen on their roster. Joshua could be in for an extended stay in the AHL. None

2024-11-20 analysis The helper was Joshua's first point over four contests since he recovered from testicular cancer surgery. The 28-year-old winger has done what he does best since his return, doling out 14 hits. He can chip in some depth scoring as well after a 32-point campaign in 2023-24, but it'll be hits and PIM that supplement his production for fantasy purposes.
2024-11-20 update Joshua notched an assist, five hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

2024-11-16 analysis Joshua looks set to take on a fourth-line role but could work his way up the lineup as he gets back to full speed. Given his lengthy stint on the sidelines, the winger will likely need some time to readjust but could still challenge for the 30-point mark after hitting that threshold for the first time last year.
2024-11-16 update Joshua (cancer) will make his 2024-25 season debut against the Islanders on Thursday, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.

2024-11-06 analysis Joshua also didn't practice Wednesday, but coach Rick Tocchet said the 28-year-old hasn't suffered a setback. Instead, the Canucks are simply being cautious with Joshua, who hasn't played in 2024-25. It remains to be seen when Joshua might return to the lineup, but when he is ready, he'll likely serve in a bottom-six role.

2024-10-19 analysis While Joshua is still a ways off from game action, it's an incredibly positive sign to see the winger practicing after he underwent surgery for testicular cancer in the offseason. Joshua logged 18 goals and 32 points, both career highs, in 63 games during the 2023-24 regular season.

2024-10-08 analysis Joshua recently resumed skating, but he's still considered to be several weeks away from returning to game action. He underwent surgery for testicular cancer in September and will officially be forced to miss the first few weeks of the regular season. He made 63 appearances for the Canucks last year and logged 18 goals, 32 points and 245 hits while averaging 14:23 of ice time. While Joshua's return to the ice will certainly be a significant step in the right direction, he will likely have several more hurdles to clear, including absorbing contact in practice. Once the winger is ready to play, he should be in contention for a second-line role, though Daniel Sprong and Conor Garland will likely also have something to say about that.
