I have to hand it to the Vancouver Canucks. Most people believed (including me) that the team would have a tough time trying to score goals this season. Since the Sedins were responsible for so much of last year’s offence, it felt like we were asking a lot for Elias Pettersson to replace the production of both players.
Turns out, Pettersson could do that and more. But it’s not just him. The Canucks have four players with 10 or more goals. Elias Pettersson (17), Bo Horvat (16), Brock Boeser (12) and Jake Virtanen (10).
