If you’re going through the standouts from Tuesday night’s Vancouver Canucks preseason game, you might get a couple of names in before you reach Aatu Räty.

“We had a good game, just have to build off it”
The Vancouver Canucks’ first preseason game against the Seattle Kraken looked like two teams shaking off more than four months of rust.

CALGARY – Ask Ryan Huska what he expects from Joel Farabee this season and the answer is, well, exhausting. “I expect a lot,” said Ryan Huska, before launching into the laundry list of roles the 26-year-old winger will be saddled with. “He’s a penalty killer, he’s a power play guy, he can play on our top line, he can be on a checking line… Joel’s kind of going to be all over the place, and I think over the last year and a bit we’ve learned to trust him in a lot of different situations.
