Virtanen And McCann Make The Bigs

The Canucks are getting younger. Jake Virtanen and Jared McCann have both made the cut (past the 9-game point) and will remain with the team. McCann has 5 goals and 0 assists in 9 games played with the Canucks so far. His 5 goals scored lead the team. Virtanen has 2 assists in 8 games but brings far more intangibles...like, big hits.

Both players are receiving minimal amounts of ice time so far, but that's ok. The coaching staff is not rushing them.

I thought this advanced stat was interesting: McCann and Virtanen are 2nd and 3rd on the team with shot attempts for per 60 minutes a game.
