The Vancouver Canucks have inked another goalie.
The Canucks and netminder Aleksei Medvedev agreed to terms on a three-year entry-level contract, the team announced Thursday.
The 17-year-old was a second-round selection (47th overall) by the Canucks at the 2025 NHL Draft in June.
"Aleksei is an important addition to our organizational depth in goal and his signing is a great thing for our hockey club," general manager Patrik Allvin said in a statement. "He showed us a lot at development camp and has a bright future if he continues to build on his skill set and fundamentals. We look forward to monitoring his progress and helping him develop into a solid pro."
Medvedev, a native of St. Petersburg, Russia, won a Memorial Cup with the London Knights in 2025, suiting up for 34 regular-season games. He posted a 2.79 goals-against average and .912 save percentage with three shutouts.
He was named to the OHL First All-Rookie team, was awarded the Dave Pinkney Trophy for contributing to the Knights' league-low team lowest goals-against average and took the Dinty Moore Trophy for having the best goals-against average among OHL rookies.
