Arturs Silovs's story
He learned to handle the net early: Šilovs switched from forward to goaltender at six and moved to Riga at ten, building his game in local senior competition with HS Rīga. Those formative years set the stage for a move overseas and steady advancement through pro ranks.
Vancouver selected him 156th overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft; shortly after, Barrie picked him 11th overall in the 2019 CHL Import Draft. Šilovs signed with the Canucks that August and spent time in the Ontario Hockey League before working his way through the organization’s minor-league affiliates. He made his AHL debut with Manitoba in February 2021 and later split seasons between Abbotsford and occasional NHL call-ups.
Šilovs made his NHL debut with the Canucks on 15 February 2023 against the New York Rangers. He continued to divide his time between Vancouver and Abbotsford, earning Abbotsford’s team MVP in 2023. In 2025 he played a central role as Abbotsford captured the Calder Cup and earned the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as the AHL playoffs MVP. Unable to lock down a full-time spot in Vancouver’s crease, he was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins before the 2025–26 season.
Internationally, Šilovs progressed through Latvian junior teams and made his senior world championship debut in 2022, posting a .952 save percentage in that tournament. Back with the national team at the 2023 World Championship, he relieved the starter early and started the remaining games, backstopping Latvia to a bronze medal—the country’s first World Championship podium finish—and collecting tournament awards as best goaltender and MVP from the IIHF directorate, as well as selection to the Media All-Star Team.
Šilovs’s game is defined by steady development and readiness in pressure moments. Having established himself in the AHL and seized opportunities on the international stage, he has often been the go-to netminder when teams needed reliable performances in playoffs and tournament play.
