Players To Watch:

Calgary – Young 19-year-old winger, Samuel Honzek, will get a chance on the 1st line next to Nazem Kadri and Andrei Kuzmenko. Honzek was one of the leaders in preseason scoring with 7 points.

Vancouver – Free Agent signee Jake DeBrusk arrives in Vancouver after an up-and-down stint in Boston. DeBrusk will be on his natural LW with dynamic center Elias Pettersson and is likely to have a big year for the Cup contending Canucks.
