Returning home with a four-game losing streak, the Vancouver Canucks were able to make a comeback in a 3-2 overtime win at Rogers Arena against the Boston Bruins.

Bains, of Surrey, B.C., was called up last week by the Canucks and made his NHL debut against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.

J.T. Miller and Sam Lafferty scored for Vancouver, which is 3-5-1 since a 12-game point streak.

Arshdeep Bains told reporters that it is every kid's dream to play for the favourite hometown team.

Alexandar Georgiev stopped 24 shots as the Colorado Avalanche beat the NHL-leading Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Tuesday night.

The Vancouver Canucks lost a hard-nosed battle Saturday night against the Winnipeg Jets. Jets coach Rick Bowness says the 4-2 win is a sign of things to come.

Elias Lindholm led the way with two goals and the Vancouver Canucks extended their winning streak to three games with a 4-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.

Vancouver outshot league-worst Chicago 38-23, controlling the puck for extended runs in dealing the Blackhawks their seventh straight loss.

The Canucks are now 2-2 since adding Lindholm, who gives them the depth down the middle they'll need to try to get through the playoffs in the Western Conference.

Lucas Raymond, Daniel Sprong and Michael Rasmussen scored the regulation goals for the Red Wings, who were playing their first game since the All-Star break.
