Nikolay Goldobin earned a spot on the Vancouver Canucks roster at the start of this year. He worked hard, and looked solid coming out of the gate. GM Jim Benning even said that Goldobin outplayed Sam Gagner for a spot on the team.
Recently, however, Goldobin has once again found himself receiving the tough love experience from Travis Green that players such as Ben Hutton, Brock Boeser, and Jake Virtanen know of all too well.
Goldobin found himself riding shotgun to Jay Beagle‘s line on Monday, and found himself watching from the press box on Wednesday as the Canucks defeated the Ottawa Senators 4-3 in overtime.
