The 22-year-old will practice with the team while <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/lankike01.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kevin Lankinen<\/a> remains with Team Finland, representing both his and Koskenvuo\u2019s home country.<\/p>\n<p>Chosen in the fifth round of the 2021 draft, Koskenvuo developed at Harvard prior to turning pro in 2025-26. So far this year he\u2019s played nine games for Abbotsford of the AHL, also making six appearances in the ECHL with the Kalamazoo Wings, indicative that the 22-year-old is at least fifth on the goaltending depth chart for now. The 6\u20194\u2033 left catcher has a 2-5 record so far in the AHL with a .895 save percentage and 3.20 goals-against-average.<\/p>\n<p>Still in the beginning stages of his career, the 22-year-old will enjoy getting to practice with the big club before returning to the minors. Koskenvuo\u2019s entry level contract expires after 2026-27, as he\u2019ll work to move up the organizational depth chart until then.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With several teams summoning players from their AHL affiliates today to practice during remainder of the Olympics, the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290020,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5128],"tags":[33303,894,5,4,405,893,27,5313],"class_list":{"0":"post-461464","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-vancouver-canucks","8":"tag-aku-koskenvuo","9":"tag-canucks","10":"tag-hockey","11":"tag-nhl","12":"tag-transactions","13":"tag-vancouver","14":"tag-vancouver-canucks","15":"tag-vancouvercanucks"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116089058639816987","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=461464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=461464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=461464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
