Obviously, the Vancouver Canucks will have an interest in putting aside their first game of the preparatory calendar, after being humiliated 10-0 by the Calgary Flames on Sunday.
Rookie forward Matthew Coronato, 13th overall pick in the 2021 draft, scored a hat trick in the victory for the Albertans, who unlike the Canucks, had dressed several regular players.
Jonathan Huberdeau kicked off his preseason schedule well by scoring two goals, the second with a superb shot into the top corner after accepting a nice pass from Nazem Kadri.
The native of Saint-Jérôme wants to bounce back in 2023-2024, a few months after seeing his production drop by half, from 115 to 55 points, in his first year in the Calgary uniform.
Goalkeepers Thatcher Demko and Casey DeSmith were not automatically assigned to Vancouver, so it was Arturs Silovs and Zach Sawchenko who were manhandled by Flames shooters.
Dillon Dube and Adam Ruzicka each registered three assists, while veteran goaltender Jacob Markstrom collected the shutout with a 26-save performance.
