Vancouver Canucks Prospect Game Live Stream: Watch Tonight's Matchup Against Seattle Kraken Prospects
The Vancouver Canucks' website will be live streaming tonight's prospects game against the Seattle Kraken in Everett. The stream is free and features the natural sounds of the rink without a play-by-play call. The game starts at 6 p.m.
The Canucks' lineup will showcase their recent first-round picks, including Braeden Cootes, Tom Willander, and Jonathan Lekkerimäki, along with Elias Pettersson, who played 28 games with the big club last season. Cootes, Lekkerimäki, and Vilmer Alriksson are expected to form a line, while Pettersson and Willander will skate together.
Pettersson is likely to secure a spot on the main roster this season, while Lekkerimäki may benefit from playing top-line minutes with the AHL's Abbotsford Canucks. Cootes could also make the team or play up to nine games before being reassigned to the Seattle Thunderbirds due to his age.
The Canucks and Kraken prospects will face off again on Sunday at the Kraken Community Iceplex, with the game also being live streamed on the Canucks' website. Cootes, who plays for the Seattle Thunderbirds, will have a homecoming of sorts as he faces the Kraken after missing Team Canada's world junior camp and Seattle's training camp due to an injury.
The Canucks' training camp opens on Thursday in Penticton.
