Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin Announces Roster Move Following Big Win Over Washington Capitals
The Vancouver Canucks are coming off a big win over the NHL-leading Washington Capitals on Saturday night and have decided to make a roster move today.
After a tough loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night, the Vancouver Canucks returned to Rogers Arena on Saturday to take on
Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals, who are currently first place in the National Hockey League standings.
Pettersson faired quite well last night, finishing the game with two hits, one blocked shot and was a plus-one in 10:30 of ice time.
With Pettersson's play last night, along with the impending return of defenseman
Noah Juulsen, the Vancouver Canucks were forced to make a roster move on Sunday morning.
Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin announces roster move on Sunday
In a social media post on Sunday, the Vancouver Canucks announced that defenseman Mark Friedman has been assigned to the American Hockey League's Abbotsford Canucks.
"General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that D Mark Friedman has been reassigned to Abbotsford (AHL)." the Canucks said.
In those five games with Vancouver, the Toronto, Ontario native has failed to register any points and has ten penalty minutes, along with a minus-four rating and four shots-on-goal.
Meanwhile in 20 games in the American Hockey League, Friedman has six points (one goal, five assists), 15 penalty minutes and is a plus-four.
It'll likely be a little while before we see Mark Friedman back in the National Hockey League as the Canucks will want him playing top-four minutes down in Abbotsford, especially with Elias Pettersson now up with the big club.
The Vancouver Canucks will be back in action tomorrow night as they travel to St. Louis to take on the Blues. For fans looking to watch tomorrow's game, it'll only be available through the NHL's new Amazon Prime broadcast, with puck drop at 4:30 pm PT.
