2022-23 NHL TEAM PREVIEW: Vancouver Canucks In a full season under coach Bruce Boudreau, can the Canucks re-emerge as contenders in the Pacific Division? cooomzy's preview:
The Canucks had a fairly top-heavy offense that finished 18th in the league with 249 goals in 2021-22.J.T. Miller led the way with 32 goals and 99 points, 31 more than the next leading scorers. Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes each scored 68 points. It was a nice rebound season for the former as he struggled through an injury-riddled season in 2020-21.
The Canucks figure to have a deeper offense this season thanks to the offseason additions of Ilya Mikheyev and KHL star Andrey Kuzmenko. Mikheyev and Boeser are currently dealing with preseason injuries, so we might not see Vancouver’s ideal lineup on opening night in October, but their fully-healthy lineup features more firepower this year than it has in previous years.Though they finished eighth in the league with 236 goals allowed, Vancouver’s team defense was middle-of-the-pack last season.
Demko’s backup last season was veteran Jaroslav Halak, who left the team in free agency after putting up a .903 save percentage in 17 appearances. Demko’s backup this season figures to be Spencer Martin, who enjoyed a breakout performance in the Canucks organization after being acquired the previous summer from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for future considerations.
