Elias Lindholm nets two goals in Vancouver Canucks debut

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Playing for a new team in a familiar building worked out just fine for Vancouver's Elias Lindholm on Tuesday night.

Lindholm scored two power-play goals in similar fashion in his debut with the Canucks and J.T. Miller provided the winning goal in a 3-2 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.

"It's crazy how it all worked out," Lindholm said. "It's pretty special. Obviously, I'm happy to be here and help the team."

Lindholm, a veteran center who began his career with the Hurricanes, had one goal in each of the first two periods as the Canucks returned from the All-Star break and increased their points streak to 12 games.
