*Home opener day is here! Friendly reminder: if you are going to the game tonight, don’t forget that the start time has been moved up to 6 p.m. due to the Phillies game AND the international friendly soccer game being played at the Linc. It’s going to be nuts down there so give yourself plenty of time. Speaking of nuts…
*…Sean Couturier didn’t practice yesterday. Because he’s “banged up.” Allegedly nothing to do with his back. It’s hard not to feel panicked about this, you know?
*The Canucks have quite a few weapons up front, but Elias Pettersson is going to be the guy to watch tonight.
