Boeser scores in NHL debut, Canucks top slumping Wild Scoring in his NHL debut the next day in front of his family and friends wasn’t a bad consolation prize. Boeser scored in his first NHL game a day after signing with Vancouver, Reid Boucher added two in a four-goal second period and the visiting Canucks defeated the slumping Minnesota Wild 4-2 on Saturday. Boeser was Vancouver’s first-round pick in the 2015 draft. The Canucks surprised Boeser by bringing his parents into the locker room before the game. The Wild were shut out for almost 57 minutes by Richard Bachman, Vancouver’s third-string goalie, and they were no match for a Canucks team that was 1-5-2 in its previous eight games. Boucher put Vancouver up 2-0 with a wrist shot that appeared to hit the crossbar and ricochet off into the corner. Video replay confirmed that the puck hit the camera inside the net. The gritty victory in front of a sellout crowd broke a two-game losing streak for the playoff-bound Blue Jackets (48-19-7) and moved them into a tie with idle Pittsburgh for second in the Metropolitan Division.
