The first Canucks game in Vancouver to have fans in 595 days didn’t end the way the team hoped. The Minnesota Wild came out with a 3-2 win, and goaltender Cam Talbot stayed undefeated on the season. Mats Zuccarello opened the scoring for the Wild on a breakaway. Jonas Brodin scored early in the 2nd to make it 2-0. Later in the 2nd, Alex Chiasson scored on the powerplay to make it 2-1. The Wild had an answer for that in the 3rd, with Matt Dumba scoring on a two on 1. Horvat would score late in the 3rd, but it was too late as the Canucks lost their home opener.
Not the outcome we wanted but it was so good playing in front of #Canucks fans again! pic.twitter.com/8JgBOw3dUD
