Hoglander scored twice — including a highlight-reel-worthy goal — as the Canucks doubled up the Calgary Flames 4-2.“My first day here I couldn’t believe how good he was, three years ago. And I think he’s just really found his game all around the ice,” Garland said of the 23-year-old Swedish winger.
Garland deflected Connor Zary’s pass to Elias Pettersson in the neutral zone and the star centre passed off to Hoglander as they broke into Calgary territory. Hoglander pulled the puck to his backhand and flicked a shot in over Flames goalie Jacob Markstrom to give Vancouver a 2-0 lead. The Canucks remain at the top of the Western Conference standings, three points ahead of the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars.
“After the first 10 minutes, I thought we were better and better. We kind of grew into the game,” Andersson said. “We knew they were going to come in hot and we haven’t played for a few days either so maybe that was a little in the back of our head.”Making his fifth-straight start in place of the injured Thatcher Demko, Canucks goalie Casey DeSmith stopped 22 of 24 shots and improved to 11-5-6 on the season.
