The 2017-18 NHL season got underway, exhibition-wise, on Saturday night as the Vancouver Canucks defeated the host Los Angeles Kings, 4-3, in overtime in the league's preseason opener. Brock Boeser (North Dakota) tallied the game-winner with 22 seconds remaining in the sudden-death session.
Boeser won an NCAA national title as a freshman with North Dakota in 2016. He added two more goals, plus an assist, on Sunday at home as the Canucks fell, 9-4, to the NHL's newest expansion entry, the Vegas Knights, in a game dominated by young players on both rosters.
Alex Tuch (Boston College) tallied Vegas' fifth goal Sunday, on a power play, while Paul Thompson (New Hampshire) closed out the scoring for the Knights late in the third period. Richard Bachman (Colorado College) took the loss in goal for Vancouver, stopping 13 of 18 shots in playing the first 28 minutes. Thatcher Demko (Boston College) mopped up the rest of regulation for the Canucks, and finished with 16 saves on 20 shots.
