The Vancouver Canucks have made a roster move ahead of their game against the Colorado Avalanche tonight, as the team announced they have called-up forward Ty Mueller from the AHL. This comes only a couple of hours after the Abbotsford Canucks announced the signing of forward Braden Birnie to a professional try-out agreement.
Mueller has been a steady presence in the Abbotsford Canucks’ lineup this season, playing in 59 of their 66 games so far. He has scored 16 goals and 19 assists in this span of time while often playing in Abbotsford’s top-six as a centre. The forward currently ranks second on Abbotsford in points behind Nils Åman (6G, 31A).

This is not Mueller’s first time playing at the NHL level, as the forward made his NHL debut for Vancouver on April 12, 2025 against the Minnesota Wild on home-ice. He played in one more game after that, on April 14 against the San Jose Sharks, before re-joining Abbotsford in their chase for the Calder Cup.
Mueller’s call-up comes shortly after Evander Kane was noted to be sitting out of tonight’s game. Kane has reportedly been dealing with an injury through the most recent stretch of games, though he played in his 1000th career NHL game on Monday against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Vancouver will face the Avalanche tonight at 5:30 pm PT, with their next match taking place tomorrow against the Minnesota Wild at 5:00 pm PT. Abbotsford will play in a home back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, with this being their final stretch of home games through the 2025–26 season.
