The Vancouver Canucks called Brendan Gaunce up from the AHL Utica Comets on Tuesday, as advertised by Jim Benning during his post-trade deadline press conference. Gaunce has 15 goals and 33 points in 43 games this season with the Comets, playing centre and left-wing as needed for Travis Green‘s team.
That total for the native of Sudbury, Ontario is now good enough for Gaunce to be the leader in points and goals on the Comets’ roster and third in assists, only behind defenceman Jordan Subban and right-winger Alex Grenier.
But there is more to Gaunce’s game than just scoring.
