Regelwerk » questionable with an undisclosed injury for the start

The rested Vancouver Canucks try to begin the season with a third straight victory as they clash with the winless Edmonton Oilers for the second time already this season. You can catch all of the action live on TSN Radio 1040 Vancouver with coverage beginning at 6:30pm pt/3:30pm et. The Canucks have been idle since rallying to beat the Oilers in a shootout 5-4 on Saturday. Hosting Vancouver overcame three two-goal deficits and tied the game on Linden Veys first NHL goal at 7:06 of the third period. Chris Higgins then scored the lone shootout tally, firing a wrister off the glove of Edmonton goaltender Viktor Fasth. Ryan Miller stopped 25-of-29 shots and improved to 8-0-0 lifetime against the Oilers with a 1.98 goals against average and .930 save percentage. The boys worked real hard and bailed me out, said Miller, who rebounded to stop Jordan Eberle, David Perron and Benoit Pouliot in the shootout. Daniel Sedin had three assists, while Henrik Sedin and Radim Vrbata came up with a goal and an assist each for a Canucks club that opened the season with a 4-2 win over Calgary on Oct. 8. Edmonton has played twice since that shootout loss which opened a three-game road trip. The Oilers were bested 6-1 by Los Angeles on Tuesday and then lost to Arizona 7-4 the following night. Taylor Hall scored twice and had an assist in the setback to the Coyotes. Leon Draisaitl, the third overall pick of the 2014 draft, recorded his first-career NHL point with an assist on Mark Faynes goal, while Ben Scrivens yielded six goals on 28 shots. I cant throw anyone under the bus when Im playing like that, Scrivens said. Ive got to take care of my own house first. Edmonton has allowed 23 goals in opening the campaign with four straight losses (0-3-1). Scrivens will likely get a chance to rebound tonight as Fasth suffered a groin injury versus the Kings that landed him on injured reserve. Scrivens is 2-1-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .944 save percentage in three previous meetings with the Canucks. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is questionable with an undisclosed injury for the start of a seven-game homestand, one that ends with another game versus Vancouver on Nov. 1. The Canucks have won four of their last six meetings with the Oilers. NOTES: The Oilers have recalled defenceman Martin Marincin from the OKC Barons; assigned forward Steve Pinizzotto to the Barons and assigned defenceman Darnell Nurse to the OHLs Sault Ste.

It was my fifth straight year attending and, as always, there are many interesting matters discussed as it pertains to the use of statistics in sports.ANAHEIM – Teemu Selanne wanted to do something nice for Sami Vatanen. His fellow Finn, 21 years his junior, had just arrived in Anaheim and was hoping to stick with the Ducks. The way Selanne saw it, if Vatanen was going to make it in southern California, he needed to have his own wheels. So the future Hall of Famer, an avid car collector, decided to lend Vatanen, a smooth-skating defenceman, one of his. A Mercedes CLK to be precise. "I havent seen it in a year-and-a-half," Selanne said with a chuckle. "I dont know if I like that car actually," Vatanen said with a big smile, "but its free." Selanne and Saku Koivu, another Finnish veteran, have mentored Vatanen, Anaheims fourth round pick in 2009, over the last couple of years. Koivu and his wife Hanna, for example, helped Vatanen get his apartment set up. "You can tell that both of them have taken Sami under their wing," said Ducks defenceman Ben Lovejoy. "Hes not even their little brother, hes sort of their son." Told of that statement, the 43-year-old Selanne doesnt miss a beat noting, "He could be." The groundwork laid by Selanne and Koivu paid dividends in the regular season as Vatanen was the third leading scorer among Ducks defencemen picking up 21 points in just 48 games. "Its a big thing," said Vatanen. "Ive been watching those guys for a while. It was fun to get a chance to play with them and its more fun even in the playoffs." Vatanen played in just nine of Anaheims final 32 regular-season games and started the playoffs in the minors with Norfolk in the American Hockey League. He was recalled in time for Game 3 of the series with the Los Angeles Kings making an immediate impact. Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau even went so far as to label the youngster the best player on the ice on either team on Thursday night. Vatanen didnt slow downn in his second career NHL playoff game on Saturday night, picking up his first post-season point, an assist on Ryan Getzlafs power play goal.dddddddddddd He was also on the ice for Devante Smith-Pellys goal earlier in the period. "Just some confidence on the back end," said Lovejoy when asked what Vatanen brings to the table. "Getting offence against the Kings is difficult and having another smart puck mover back there is only going to put our forwards in better position to create offence." It is the 5-foot-10, 183-pound Vatanens gutsy play, which impresses Selanne the most. "Hes a warrior out there," said Selanne. "Hes not the biggest guy out there, but he doesnt avoid the traffic. Hes putting himself in a situation where hes going to get hit and give hits. Its fun to watch when young guys and small guys can do that. And obviously the way he can see the game and pass. He can make a huge difference." Selanne is nearing the end of his decorated career and takes great pride in being able to help an up-and-coming Finnish player find his way. After all, it was Teppo Numminen who helped a young Selanne navigate some early-career growing pains in Winnipeg. "I remember how much he helped me and thats why I want to do my job as well. And its fun and you see how much they appreciate it and how life is easier when you have help here and there," Selanne said. "Thats what we have done for years. Its so much easier for a young guy when theres a countryman who wants to help and makes things easier and gets you settled down. Thats a very important part of our job." In a way, Selannes career has come full circle as he passes the torch to the next rising Finnish star on the Ducks. So, did Numminen lend Selanne a car back in the day? "Actually, I let him drive my car," Selanne said with a grin. Some things never change. ' ' '
