Flashback to Halloween night, 2018. The Vancouver Canucks were taking on the Chicago Blackhawks in Rogers Arena and Jake Virtanen had the first two goal game of his NHL career. But, it’s not only that Virtanen scored two goals… it’s how he scored them. On both goals Virtanen simply RIPPED the puck high over Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford after fighting his way to open ice.
Remember these beauties?
At that point Virtanen’s confidence and production was sky high and the “Shotgun Jake” movement was in full effect.
