Arshdeep Bains 'Shot Out Of A Cannon' in Canucks Camp, Eyes Full-Time Role

Arshdeep Bains is making a strong case for a full-time role with the Vancouver Canucks, excelling in training camp and pre-season. The 25-year-old forward has recorded three points in two games, drawing praise from coach Manny Malhotra for his pace, energy, and aggressive play. Bains, entering the final year of his deal, prepared intensely in the off-season and is approaching this season with a "fresh mindset" to secure a permanent NHL spot after splitting time between NHL and AHL. He's among 16 forwards remaining on the roster.
