3 positive takeaways from the Canucks’ 7-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers

The Vancouver Canucks lost 7-2 to the Edmonton Oilers in their last preseason game. Here are three positive takeaways from the game: the Canucks played better than their previous game against Seattle and the team's defensive effort was better. The team was playing without the defensive pieces that were missing in the previous match. The Canucks outshot the Oilers 12-10 and earned three power-play chances. Nils Höglander scored a goal and Vasili Podkolzin was a beast at both ends of the ice.

Christian Wolanin and Brady Keeper are in the running for the Canucks' seventh defender spot. Collin Delia is showing improvement in his game. He allowed seven goals on 36 shots. He's working with Canucks goalie coach Ian Clark. The team is 0-5 in preseason. They lost 7-2 to the Edmonton Oilers. It's Moral Victory Season. There are positives to take from the game, however. For example, W Nolanin made a precise pass to Nils Höglander on the power play. Brady keeper has been playing well since breaking his leg in training camp last season.
