Canucks Rookie Zeev Buium Aims to Rebound Against Canadiens

Vancouver Canucks rookie defenseman Zeev Buium, coming off a 5-0 loss to the Maple Leafs, is looking to boost his offense against the Montréal Canadiens. Buium, who ranks eighth on the Canucks with four goals and 14 assists, made an electric NHL debut on December 14 with a game-winner and an assist. However, his offensive production has since cooled, with only two points recorded since his debut, and his last point coming on January 3. He will face fellow top rookie Ivan Demidov in tonight's matchup.
