===Vancouver Canucks===
After four seasons with Buffalo, on July 14, 2006, Pyatt was traded to the [[Vancouver Canucks]] in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick in the [[2007 NHL Entry Draft]] (later traded by Buffalo to the [[Calgary Flames]]). Pyatt benefitted from playing on the Canucks' top line with twins [[Henrik Sedin|Henrik]] and [[Daniel Sedin]],<ref>{{cite news|title=Pyatt doing just fine bulging the twine|url=http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/sports/story.html?id=e8aa91f8-bb0d-4ab3-99a2-93cbde21eaff|accessdate=2008-09-19|newspaper=[[Vancouver Sun]]|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090409133511/http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/news/sports/story.html?id=e8aa91f8-bb0d-4ab3-99a2-93cbde21eaff|archivedate=2009-04-09}}</ref> leading to career highs in goals and points, with 23 and 37 respectively.

During the [[2007–08 NHL season|2007–08 season]], on January 13, 2008, Pyatt took a stick to the face. Getting in the way of an [[Eric Brewer (ice hockey)|Eric Brewer]] clearing attempt in a game against the [[St. Louis Blues]], he required 25 stitches in his upper lip and a splint in his mouth to hold up his teeth.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Canucks' Pyatt gets stitches, face shield |url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2008/01/14/canucks_pyatt/print/ |accessdate=2009-05-06 |date=2008-01-14 |publisher=[[Rogers Sportsnet]] |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080120104353/http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2008/01/14/canucks_pyatt/print/ |archivedate=January 20, 2008 }}</ref> He wore a full face shield upon his return to the lineup and elected to wear a visor for the remainder of his Vancouver tenure. Despite being taken off the Canucks' top line with the Sedins during the season, Pyatt completed the campaign matching his career-high of 37 points, as well as setting a new career mark for assists with 21. The next season, in [[2008–09 NHL season|2008–09]], Pyatt was sidelined for eight games due to a foot injury suffered on December 17, 2008.<ref>{{cite news|title=Pyatt one bright light in dim result|url=http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/sports/story.html?id=8e93687d-c568-4ae2-8f0a-bcbd00708b15|accessdate=2009-01-18|date=2009-01-18|newspaper=[[The Province]]|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090409133829/http://www2.canada.com/theprovince/news/sports/story.html?id=8e93687d-c568-4ae2-8f0a-bcbd00708b15|archivedate=2009-04-09}}</ref> Following an injury to [[Pavol Demitra]] during the [[2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs|2009 playoffs]], Pyatt made his return to the lineup on May 5 for Game 3 of the second round against the [[Chicago Blackhawks]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Demitra out of Canucks lineup, Pyatt in|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/demitra-out-of-canucks-lineup-pyatt-in-1.812201|access-date=2009-05-06|date=2009-05-05|publisher=[[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]]}}</ref> Following the Canucks' second round elimination, it was revealed Pyatt required off-season surgery to his knee.<ref>{{cite news|title=Demitra and three other Canucks to go under the knife|url=https://vancouversun.com/Health/Demitra+three+other+Canucks+under+knife/1597531/story.html|accessdate=2009-06-06|newspaper=[[Vancouver Sun]]}}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
