Rookie Zack MacEwen, who, like so many young Canucks appeared to progress during the shutdown, was unable to practise on Saturday. Green said he expected MacEwen to travel with the Canucks to Edmonton, which means his absence is not COVID-19-related. He is believed to have a day-to-day injury.Having lost a spot in the top four lines during the first week of camp, winger Jake Virtanen still looks to be an extra forward.
When training camp ended Saturday with aggressive games of two-on-two inside the faceoff circle, Ferland was one of the most physical competitors. He still has to play an actual game, but Ferland is starting to look like the wrecking-ball winger who used to terrorize opponents on the forecheck and cost the Canucks $14 million over four years on a free-agent contract signed last summer.
“Going home , we didn’t have ice for two months and I think that was probably the best thing for me. , I kept getting back on the ice and pushing it and pushing it, wanting to get back bad, and I just wasn’t giving myself the time to rest. Going home and having the two months off is what I needed.”“Once the game starts, I’m going to be hitting and I’m going to be hitting hard,” he said.
