Upstart Canucks feel positive hosting Red Wings

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Don't look now, but the Vancouver Canucks are starting to get some feel-good stories.

In the past two seasons, due largely to a dearth of young talent, inspirational yarns were few and far between as Vancouver missed the playoffs both seasons.

However, the Canucks (7-4-2) head into a Monday game against the visiting Detroit Red Wings (7-7-1) with some positive vibes from their rebuilding plan. The biggest feel-good story is winger Brock Boeser, 20, who continues to show signs of being a legitimate star -- now, rather than in the future.
