Vancouver Canucks general manager announced Monday that the team assigned defenceman Travis Dermott to AHL Abbotsford on a conditioning loan.

The Canucks have also recalled goaltender Arturs Silovs on emergency conditions. Collin Delia and his wife have just welcomed their child. He was sent down to make up the roster spot for Silovs.

Dermott has not played a regular season game in 2022-23. The five-year veteran was placed on long-term injury reserve on Oct. 27 after suffering a concussion in September.
