Miller leads the team in career points vs Buffalo with 20 points (8-12-20) in 24 games. Thatcher Demko is 2-1-1 in his career against Buffalo with a 3.70 GAA and .891 save-percentage.

Among coaches with 600 wins to their name, Boudreau's .634 points percentage would rank second only to Scotty Bowman (.657). ELIAS PETTER-CENT Netting his third goal of the season on Oct. 18 at CBJ, Elias Pettersson registered his 100th career NHL goal, requiring the second- fewest games in Canucks history to reach the mark among players to debut with the franchise, trailing only Pavel Bure (154 GP). • The goal also tied Pettersson with Jake Guentzel (PIT) and Brayden Point (TBL) as the ninth-fastest active player to reach 100 career goals. He also is the first player from the 2017 NHL draft class to reach the milestone. SHORTHANDED SHOOTER Opening the scoring with a shorthanded tally on Oct. 18 at CBJ, Bo Horvat passed Matt Cooke for sole possession of eighth-most shorthanded goals in franchise history (9), and now sits just one back of tying Ryan Kesler (10) for seventh-most. Pavel Bure holds the club record with 24 shorthanded goals. SPENCE-TACULAR Turning aside 29 shots in an overtime defeat on Oct. 18 at CBJ, Spencer Martin improved his record with the Canucks to 3-0-4, and now sits just one game back of tying Curt Ridley (6-0-2 in 1975.76) as the only goaltender in franchise history to earn at least a point in each of his eight starts with the team. CRACKING THE TOP 50 Brock Boeser skated in his 326th career game on Oct. 15 at PHI, passing Ron Sedlbauer for 50th most games played in franchise history and joining Bo Horvat (574 GP, 18th) as the only other active Canuck in the top 50 games played in club history. With 258 career points (121-137-258), Boeser already ranks inside Vancouver's top 50 in goals (t-20th), assists (t-37th), and points (28th). HOMEGROWN TALENT Making his 137th NHL regular season appearance on Oct. 12 at EDM, Thatcher Demko gained sole possession of most games played in franchise history by a Canucks-drafted goaltender, surpassing Glen Hanlon's mark of 136 games. Demko also currently stands just five wins away from tying Gary Smith for sixth-most wins among all goalies in Canucks history. QUICK START Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller combined goals for a 2-0 Canucks lead just 2:40 into the season opener on Oct. 12 at EDM, marking the fastest two goals to begin a season in franchise history, 75 seconds faster than the previous team mark (3:55 on Oct. 5 vs CGY). The goals also marked the eighth-fastest two-goal start in any game in Canucks history.

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 True opening night, I think Demko finally wakes up and comes to play. Miller still the same trash but Demmer seals it. 4-0 Canucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Hey Bruce I got a tip for you on the PP. Put out the 7m dollar man OEL and run 2 D on unit 1 and let's add a decent point shot to the PP. Might as well use OEL on unit 1, he is getting paid like he should already be on it...7m plus for a 29 pt D man is terrible I don't care what any CDC fan wants to say its a bad use of cap space for that kind of production.

AV. Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Buffalo is a super team as this moment in time. Rasmus Dahlin living up to his #1 status. Owen Power coming into his own. And their forwards - what a group. Should be just another day in the books for those Sabres, home opener for the Canucks or not. 4-1 Sabres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
