Jacob Markstrom is doing everything in his power to keep his team in the game.
The Vancouver Canucks goaltender drew a whistle by grabbing the puck with his bare hand to prevent a goal in the second period Monday night against the Winnipeg Jets.
Markstrom robbed Jets defenseman Paul Postma with a big glove save in the first period, but his Canucks trailed 3-0 through 40 minutes.
Monday's first period for Vancouver Canucks goalie Jacob Markstrom was a forgettable one, allowing two goals on 10 shots, but one save in particular should give him confidence going into the second.
The 26-year-old robbed Winnipeg Jets defenseman Paul Postma of a golden scoring opportunity with a beautiful glove stop.
Markstrom entered Monday's game with wins in his past two starts, stopping 32 of 34 shots on both occasions.
With the promise of increased minutes since his promotion to the top line with the Sedin twins, Jake Virtanen jumped at the opportunity to exchange punches with the skilled Filip Forsberg just moments into Saturday's clash.
Virtanen landed a flurry of unanswered blows on the unlikely aggressor, handing the second-year Nashville Predators forward a loss in the first official bout of his career.
"It is pretty sweet," the 19-year-old said Friday, per Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun. "I haven't really played with them since pre-season … I am looking forward to playing with those guys, they are world-class players."
Since a disappointing 2015 World Junior tournament, with just one point in four games and a pair of late penalties in Canada's quarterfinal loss to Finland, the forward admits his game has turned around.
"I came back from world juniors, I don't know exactly what happened, but everything felt a lot slower," Virtanen said. "I was seeing plays happen and reading plays better. I am feeling a lot more confident every game by making plays and stuff."
With Virtanen set to make his top-line debut Saturday against the Nashville Predators - as the Canucks begin a three-game homestand - newly signed defenseman Nikita Tryamkin practiced with the team Friday and is expected make his NHL debut next week.
