The Vancouver Canucks have summoned forward Ty Mueller from their AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford Canucks, as the team evaluates their promising young talent in the closing stages of the season. General Manager Patrik Allvin made the announcement, with nine games remaining in the NHL campaign.
The 22-year-old has been a standout performer for Abbotsford, recording 16 goals and 19 assists for a total of 35 points in 59 games. He is second in scoring behind Nils Aman, and his role has grown steadily since his rookie season, where he posted 39 points in 64 games and was named the team's representative at the 2025 AHL All-Star Game. Coaches have relied on him in all situations, including power play and penalty kill duties.
Mueller played a pivotal role in Abbotsford's Calder Cup-winning run, registering 12 points in 24 playoff games. The Edmonton native has limited NHL experience so far, having appeared in just two games last season and still searching for his first point at that level.
The move signals a shift towards development as the club prepares for the future. With the team's focus on nurturing young talent, Mueller's recall is a testament to the Canucks' commitment to investing in their young players and building for the future.
