After spending the entire season out due to injury, the Vancouver Canucks have announced that Guillaume Brisebois has been placed on waivers in preparation for assignment to the AHL. If he clears waivers, Brisebois will report to the Abbotsford Canucks. Brisebois took part in Vancouver's training camp back in September, but was soon ruled out of play after undergoing surgery to repair a lower-body injury. As a result, he has yet to make his season debut this season. As one of the longest-tenured members of the Canucks organization, having been drafted 66th overall in the 2015 NHL Draft, Brisebois has been a staple in Vancouver's D-core depth. He played in three NHL games during the 2024-25 season and won the Calder Cup with Abbotsford during their playoff run back in June. Brisebois' return will give Abbotsford a massive boost on their blueline. Through the 2025-26 season, the AHL Canucks have been forced to shift their defensive pairings around due to injury issues and NHL call-ups. Abbotsford plays later today at 12:00 pm PT, but will return to the Rogers Forum for a six-game home stand directly after.
