Abbotsford weekly: Cootes and Lind tally 3 points each in Canucks’ first win of the season

The Abbotsford Canucks secured their first victory of the season against the Colorado Eagles, driven by three-point performances from Braeden Cootes and Kole Lind. After dropping the first game of the back-to-back series in a shootout following a 3-3 draw, Abbotsford responded by winning the second contest. Cootes scored the game-winning goal on a late third-period power play after Lind tallied two earlier goals to lead the offense.

Ty Mueller extended his goal-scoring streak to start the year by netting in both games. Goaltender Nikita Tolopilo started both matchups for the Canucks, who moved to a 1-2-1 record and sixth place in the Pacific Division ahead of their upcoming home series against the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
