First NHL goal ‘meant to be’ for homegrown Vancouver Canucks winger Arshdeep Bains
VANCOUVER — Arshdeep Bains got a solid vote of confidence before suiting up for his hometown Vancouver Canucks on Saturday.
The left-winger spoke with Daniel and Henrik Sedin, and the Canucks legends told him they had a feeling Bains was poised to score his first NHL goal.
They were right.
“I’d been hearing that from a couple guys,” Bains said after he buried the winning goal in Vancouver’s 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. “They’re all pretty happy for me. And it almost felt like it was meant to be.”
