In the first game of the regular season, “Canucks” won 8-1 (2-0, 3-1, 3-0) at home, Brock Besser scored four goals, and Jonathan Tanner Miller scored five (1+4) points.

Elias Petechson stood out with four points (1+3), Quinn Hughes collected three points (0+3), and Connor Garland and Dakota Joshua scored one goal each.

Leon Draisaitl scored the only accurate shot in the “Oilers” team, who scored 1:4 in the middle of the second period.

Bļugers suffered a concussion on Friday in a test match when the Canucks beat the Calgary Flames 3-1 at home, with the Latvian striker scoring the winning goal, and left shortly after the start of practice on Sunday.

Latvian goalkeeper Artūrs Šilovs, who played five matches for the Canucks last season, will start this season at the team’s farm club in the American Hockey League (AHL).

The Canucks will play their next match on Sunday night, when they will meet the Oilers in Edmonton.
