Vancouver Canucks: Nikolay Goldobin needs more ice time
Nikolay Goldobin has been one of the few bright spots for the Vancouver Canucks over the last couple of weeks, and the 22-year-old Russian should only get more ice time and opportunity as the season nears its end.
The Vancouver Canucks may have lost 5-3 to the San Jose Sharks, but they finally snapped their embarrassing shutout streak — and Nikolay Golodbin had arguably his best game under head coach Travis Green.
There were a handful of positives to take away from Saturday’s game, but none of them were bigger than the effort ‘Goldy’ put on. He scored his fifth goal on the season, while tallying three shots, one hit and one blocked shot.
