Vancouver was forced to wait until Saturday for their season opening game.
They’ll welcome in the Calgary Flames Saturday night hoping to get their season started off on the right foot.
Calgary Flames
The Flames season could not have started any worse as they’ve dropped back to back games to the Edmonton Oilers.
Calgary is in the midst of a 3 game in 4 nights stretch, as they went into Edmonton and lost, followed by a home loss to the Oilers Friday night.
Calgary has struggled on the defensive end. New goalie Brian Elliot, has allowed 10 goals on 55 shots thus far.

Despite the 0-2 start, Mikael Backlund has picked up right where he left off last season. Backlund has 3 assists over the first couple games, as he looks to be well on his way to last seasons point total of 47.
For the Flames, it’s all about Elliot getting on track and the defense in front of him helping out. Calgary allowed Edmonton to pepper the net and get plenty of counter attacks.
Vancouver doesn’t have as much firepower, this will be nice chance for them to get on track.
Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks looks to bounce back after what was a struggle of 2015-2016 season.
Vancouver has missed the playoffs in 2 out of the last 3 seasons and that comes from lack of goal scoring. The Canucks finished 29th in goals for last season and they did nothing to improve in the offseason.
Loui Eriksson and Jack Skille were the two signature signings for the Canucks, as they’ll have to find production from the Sedin brothers.

Daniel Sedin finished the 2015-2016 season with 28 goals and 61 points total to lead the team. Henrik Sedin was right there with him as he finished with 55 points.
The duo will be asked todo a lot this season and will have a huge say in whether or not this team succeeds.
