It was a perfect night for the Vancouver Canucks. Loui Eriksson scored, the Tre Kronor line added another goal, Brandon Sutter scored the game winner in his first game in what feels like three years, and Ryan Miller saved every shot he faced. But, the Canucks still somehow managed to make this a close game that seems like the perfect introduction into what is yet to come.
Eriksson scored, but it was into his own net.
He and Henrik Sedin assisted on the second goal of the night, scored by Daniel Sedin, but it was actually the first for the Canucks.
