VIDEO: Canucks’ Brock Boeser scores first goal in NHL debut

What a day it has turned out to be for Brock Boeser.

Just hours after signing his first NHL contract with the Vancouver Canucks, the 2015 first-round draft pick was making his NHL debut in his hometown against the Minnesota Wild.

As if that wasn’t enough, he also ended up scoring his first career goal in the second period when he pounced on a loose puck that was sitting in the goal crease to give the Canucks a 3-0 lead. You can see the entire play in the video above.

Along with the goal Boeser also recorded a team-high four shots on goal through the first two periods while mostly skating on a line with Bo Horvat and Sven Baertschi.

Jack Skille would add another goal for the Canucks just two minutes later to give them a 4-0 lead against a Wild team that has lost nine of its past 12 games heading into Saturday.
