VANCOUVER, British Columbia — With the sixth pick in the 2017 draft, the Golden Knights selected forward Cody Glass.
One choice earlier, Vancouver nabbed Swedish forward Elias Pettersson.
The Knights will get their first look at the Canucks’ rookie sensation Thursday when the teams square off at 7 p.m. Rogers Arena.
“For a young kid, he’s got a lot of talent. He makes plays,” Knights coach Gerard Gallant said Oct. 23 before their first matchup. “He’s a talented guy, he shoots the puck real well, but he also finds people on the backdoor very well. He’s a very talented young player.
