Vancouver Canucks recall goalie Jake Kielly; Michael DiPietro deemed unfit to play

The Vancouver Canucks have recalled goaltender Jake Kielly after goaltender Michael DiPietro was deemed unfit to play.

DiPietro had been in Vancouver training and getting tested every day under Phase 4 protocols. Kielly, meanwhile, will be reporting to the Edmonton bubble.

Kielly, 23, appeared in 24 games with the Canucks’ ECHL affiliate in Kalamazoo posting a 7-11-4 record and an .887 save percentage. He played in two games for the Utica Comets last year, too, posting a 1-0 record and a .923 save percentage.

In a press conference earlier today, Canucks head coach Travis Green remained mum on the status of goaltender Jacob Markstrom saying “tune into the game tonight and you’ll see.”
