VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks had five of their own first-round draft picks playing forward for them on Wednesday: Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Brendan Gaunce, Bo Horvat and Jake Virtanen. And the two who scored against the Chicago Blackhawks were Virtanen, twice, and Gaunce.
Gaunce, who once went 87 National Hockey League games and more than two years without scoring, sniped the winner in his season debut, one night after traversing the continent as an emergency minor-league call-up to replace the injured Brandon Sutter. Gaunce scored his goal on a direct pass by Blackhawk captain Jonathan Toews.
