Jake Virtanen scored a career-high 18 goals in 69 games last season. Can he eventually grow into a 30-goal scorer?
It’s been six years since the Vancouver Canucks drafted Jake Virtanen with the No. 6 overall selection in 2014. And they’re still waiting for him to break out.
The 6-foot-1, 226-pound winger is still developing his game at the professional level, but he’s made nice progress over the last two years.
In 2018-19, Virtanen tallied 15 goals and 25 points (both career bests) in 70 games.
