Arshdeep Bains and Nate Smith scored to get the Canucks to overtime against the Oilers on Monday night.
Realistically speaking, only seven of the players in the Vancouver Canucks’ lineup for Monday night’s preseason game against the Edmonton Oilers are likely to be in the lineup on opening night of the regular season.
That’s just another way of saying that 13 of the players in Monday night’s lineup won’t be on the ice on opening night, which makes it all the more impressive that they took the Oilers to overtime. Okay, so the Oilers didn’t entirely dress their regular season roster for this game but it sure felt like they did, particularly when the Canucks didn’t have any of their stars on the ice.
