The Vancouver Canucks are eager to build on their playoff experience from last season as they prepare for the new campaign. Right-winger Brock Boeser expressed excitement about their postseason success and believes it will aid their performance this year.

After finishing first in the Pacific Division, the Canucks faced tough competition in the playoffs, ultimately falling to the Edmonton Oilers. Head coach Rick Tocchet has set higher expectations for the team, emphasizing the need for improvement.

This offseason, general manager Patrik Allvin made strategic moves, including signing left-winger Jake DeBrusk to a significant contract while parting ways with key players. The team is optimistic about its new additions and aims to create a cohesive unit.

However, they will start the season without All-Star goalie Thatcher Demko, who is recovering from an injury. Rookie Arturs Silovs is expected to step in as the starting goalie. Additionally, star center Elias Pettersson looks to bounce back after a challenging playoff performance.
