The 23-year-old Latvian led the Canucks out for warm-ups after head coach Rick Tocchet said earlier in the day that his choice of netminder would be a “game-time decision.”
The Canucks have started three different goalies in the series and each has earned a win, giving Vancouver a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup.
All-star goalie Thatcher Demko was in net for Vancouver in Game 1, but sustained a lower-body injury and is currently listed as week to week.
He was replaced by Casey DeSmith, who went 1-1-0 with a 2.02 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage in Games 2 and 3 before going down with a lower-body injury.
Silovs got the start in Game 4, stopping 27 shots in his first-ever NHL playoff appearance as the Canucks came back from a late two-goal deficit to beat the Preds 4-3 in overtime.
DeSmith has been working his way back to full health and will be the backup for Game 5.
