Canucks lines vs Flames, October 9, 2025

Vancouver, BCSports

The Vancouver Canucks launch their 2025-26 NHL season on home ice against the Calgary Flames, featuring the highly anticipated NHL debut of 18-year-old Braeden Cootes. Selected 15th overall in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, Cootes's placement surprised many, as he led the Seattle Thunderbirds with 63 points in 60 games despite not being a scoring leader in the WHL. His performance at the World Under-18 Championships, where he topped Team Canada’s scoring with six goals and 12 points, highlighted his offensive potential. Teammate Brock Boeser commended Cootes for his hard work and ability to adapt to the NHL environment. The game starts at 7:00 p.

m. and will be available on TVAS, Sportsnet, and Sportsnet+. Tickets for the game are still available, with the cheapest resale ticket priced at $158. 67. The Canucks are optimistic about their season, as indicated by Boeser’s remarks on the team's positive energy.

This opener comes as the Flames look to build on their previous night's comeback victory against the Edmonton Oilers.
