Goaltender Nikita Tolopilo will continue his tenure with the Vancouver Canucks organization.

The National Hockey League club announced on Tuesday that the 25-year-old netminder has agreed to a two-year, two-way contract extension.

Last season, Tolopilo played 36 games for the AHL`s Abbotsford Canucks, who went on to win the league championship. He posted a record of 20-14-2 with a 2.66 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage. He also made his NHL debut with Vancouver, appearing in two games where he registered a 1-1 record along with a 2.15 GAA and an .885 save percentage.

Originally from Belarus, Tolopilo first joined the Canucks franchise when he was signed as an undrafted free agent back in March 2023.
