Podkolzin, 22, appeared in 18 NHL games this season, notching a pair of assists. He spent a majority of his season with the American Hockey League's Abbotsford Canucks, scoring 15 goals and adding 13 assists in 44 games.“We are happy with how hard Vasily has worked on his game to try and become a more consistent player,” Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said in a statement.
