The Penguins will be starting former Canucks goalie Arturs Silovs tonight, and the young netminder finally commented on what this will mean for him. Adam Foote and the Vancouver Canucks are well into their second-longest road swing of the 2025-26 season, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/quinn-hughes-and-thatcher-demko-send-clear-message-after-canucks-slow-start' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>one that has taxed endurance</a> as much as clock changes, with a very early puck drop for home fans on Sunday's game against the Washington Capitals. The road trip resumes with two more games before the Canucks are home again next Saturday, beginning with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday and the Nashville Predators on Thursday. When the Canucks play at PPG Paints Arena, they'll be facing a familiar face in net, former Vancouver goalie Arturs Silovs. Penguins head coach Dan Muse confirmed Silovs will begin in goal against his prior club, creating an emotional battle for the 24-year-old Latvian goalie, who commented on the experience ahead for the first time. I think it will be a fun challenge, Silovs said. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/PensInsideScoop/status/1980653911653712356'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/former-canucks-goaltender-arturs-silovs-addresses-how-he-felt-after-being-traded-away-to-the-penguins' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Silovs was traded to Pittsburgh this summer</a> after Vancouver decided it had a crowded crease to begin with, featuring Thatcher Demko and Kevin Lankinen at the helm. I thought it's a great thing for me, having an opportunity to play. Because, I mean, it's been tough. It's been tough road sitting with the three goalies down there. I think it's a phenomenal opportunity to play in the NHL. I just want to seize it and do my best, Silovs said. <h3>The Canucks got a young player and a pick in exchange for Arturs Silovs last season</h3> Instead of losing him on waivers, general manager Patrik Allvin traded Silovs to Pittsburgh for Chase Stillman and a fourth-round pick in 2027. Since coming to the Penguins in Pittsburgh, Silovs has posted a 2-1-0 record with a 2.67 goals-against average, .908 save percentage, and one shutout. Fans can see the Canucks' reunion with their grizzled netminder Tuesday at 4 p.m. PT, a game sure to be filled with added emotion and intrigue as each side seeks to gain momentum on the road to the post-season.
