Goldobin has been recalled from AHL Utica on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old has appeared in 14 NHL games with the Canucks this season, registering a pair of goals and four points. Goldobin averages just about 12 minutes of ice time per game and a minus-8 rating. This is simply a depth move and he can be left on the waiver wire for fantasy purposes.

Goldobin was reassigned to AHL Utica on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Goldy only has 37 NHL games under his belt between the Sharks and Canucks, so fantasy owners are advised to be patient with the young sniper. The Russian has supreme offensive instincts, and his minor-league production -- having already picked up seven goals and 12 assists through only 18 games with the Comets -- proves that he's rather unfazed by competition in the lower ranks. If you have shares in the 22-year-old winger, don't fret about this demotion as it likely won't last long.

Goldobin scored a highlight-reel goal in Saturday's loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Goldobin deked around Kings' elite blueliner Drew Doughty and beat Jonathan Quick for his second goal of the season. The 22-year-old picked up an assist the previous night against Chicago and has managed four points in the 10 games he's appeared in this season. The Russian forward has the potential to be a solid scorer, so he's worth keeping an eye on. Goldobin is barely averaging 10 minutes of ice time right now, though, so wait for his role to increase before adding him to your roster.

Goldobin is expected to sit as a healthy scratch Saturday night against the Flames, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Canucks coach Travis Green plans to insert newcomer Nic Dowd into the lineup, so it looks as though Goldobin will have to watch this next game from the press box. The Russian has been rock solid in limited action this season, adding two points with a plus-3 rating over 11:27 of average ice time. We can't see him being out for very long.

Goldobin was recalled from AHL Utica on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 2014 first-round pick had struggled during his three seasons in the San Jose organization, but has begun to find his game in 2017-18 with 19 points in 18 games with Utica. While the Canucks play the Rangers at MSG on Sunday, Goldobin is only expected to serve as the team's extra forward, though the young Russian could be included in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Islanders.

Goldobin was sent to AHL Utica on Saturday, Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
After appearing in 14 games in the NHL last season for San Jose and Vancouver, Goldobin will begin his 2017-18 campaign in the minors. He scored 45 points in 49 games last season in the AHL, and if he keeps up the torrent pace, a midseason call-up to Vancouver could be in the works.

Goldobin was sent down to the minors Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Goldobin notched a pair of goals in his final three outings with the Canucks this season and will look to carry that momentum forward into the closing regular season games for AHL Utica. In his previous appearances in the minors, the winger notched 15 goals and 26 helpers along with 16 PIM. Considering how low Vancouver finished in the standings, the organization could be in line for a rebuild and will need to determine where (if at all) Goldobin fits into its future plans.

Goldobin (illness) will play Thursday against the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Goldobin, who last suited up March 7, has one goal in five NHL games this season, but the 2014 first-rounder did display some offensive spark in the minors earlier in the campaign, while racking up 41 points in 46 games for the AHL's San Jose Barracuda.

Goldobin (illness) will join the Canucks' on their four-game road trip, but coach Willie Desjardins suggested he will miss "a couple games" before returning.
EDGE Analysis
Goldobin will need to get in a couple more practices before being deemed ready to retake the ice, making a Saturday return against the Wild a plausible scenario. Regardless, the youngster averages fewer than 10 minutes of ice time when he draws into the lineup, so his status shouldn't be of much concern for fantasy purposes.

Goldobin (illness) will join the Canucks for their upcoming four-game road trip.
EDGE Analysis
Although Goldobin will be on the trip, it is unclear when he might return to the lineup, with his next opportunity Tuesdays against Chicago. The winger has already missed more games (6) since joining the Canucks than ones he has played in (3). Considering the 21-year-old is averaging a mere 9:37 of ice time when in the lineup, fantasy owners may want to look at other options for their lineups.
