GLENDALE, Ariz. — Goalie Richard Bachman will finally get his chance to play tonight when the Vancouver Canucks complete a two-game road trip against the Arizona Coyotes (7 p.m. Pacific, on Sportsnet Vancouver, TSN 1040).
After watching Ryan Miller start and finish the first 10 games of the regular season, Bachman will play his first full game since the second round of the American Hockey League playoffs last May.
"It has been a little bit but I'm excited to get the start tonight," Bachman said after today's game-day skate at Gila River Arena.
Bachman did play parts of two pre-season games with the Canucks, but his last full game came in Game 7 of the second round of the AHL playoffs last May when he was playing for Oklahoma City.
