Welcome to the top line, Jake Virtanen. Meet your taskmasters, Henrik and Daniel Sedin.
The Sedins may not seem like drill sergeants, but Henrik served notice Friday that Virtanen will be held to a high standard by him and his brother.
“I think me and Danny are very focused during games and we don’t like to see a lot of mistakes,” Henrik said after Friday’s practice at UBC. “We want guys who know what they are doing. So we are going to be hard on him.”
Virtanen is expected to make his regular season debut with the twins when the Canucks play the Nashville Predators tonight at Rogers Arena.
