I Watched This (Preseason) Game: Canucks' new-look power play connects versus Kings
Canucks fans have been waiting for this ever since they saw the first highlights of Elias Pettersson blasting one-timers from the right faceoff circle on the power play in Sweden. Imagine it: Brock Boeser on the left, Pettersson on the right, both blasting away. Penalty kills won’t be able to focus their efforts on defending one shooter, but will have to split their attention.

Vancouver Canucks: Exploring Hot Takes Part II
Once again there is a young goaltender on the rise in the Canucks organization. That goalie is Thatcher Demko ,and could this season be the one where we see him bid for the starting goalie spot.

Vancouver Canucks: Demko, Leipsic and Gaudette shine vs. Flames
It was a bland performance by the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday as they fell 4-1 to the Calgary Flames.

The Canucks followed suit, with only a few players on the ice that could be expected to play on opening night.

Flames vs. Canucks preview: Rittich gets another shot
David Rittich has another opportunity to seize an opportunity. Getting the nod for Wednesday’s pre-season clash at Rogers Arena against the Vancouver Canucks, the 26-year-old Calgary Flames netminder will utilize the ice time — especially with the Flames’ veteran-laden squad returning back from China — to show that he’s worthy of the No. 2 position […]
