VANCOUVER B次元官网网址� Rookie Elias Pettersson buried his first shot in his first NHL game Wednesday, leading the Vancouver Canucks to a 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames.

Nikolay Goldobin, Brendan Leipsic, Jake Virtanen and Jason Motte also scored for Vancouver in the teamB次元官网网址檚 season opener.

Matthew Tkachuk and Sean Monahan responded for the Flames.

Canucks goalie Jacob Markstrom turned away 20 of 23 shots.

CalgaryB次元官网网址檚 Mike Smith stopped 30 of 35.

Pettersson opened the scoring in the 14th minute, notching his first NHL goal in a regular-season game. He later picked up an assist.

The 19-year-old Swede collected the puck in the neutral zone, then sprinted into CalgaryB次元官网网址檚 end with teammate Derrick Pouliot for a two-on-one. Pettersson opted not to pass, instead rocketing a wrist shot into the top of the net.

Sheesh, this shot from B次元官网网址� filthy.

The goal brought chants of B次元官网网址淧etter-ssonB次元官网网址� from the crowd.

The teen led the Swedish Hockey league in scoring last year, posting 56 points in 44 games.

After a scoreless second, the final frame started with a flurry of goals.

Pettersson got the puck in front of the net and passed it off to Goldobin, who tipped it in at the side to start the action.

Thirty seconds later, Leipsic snuck a puck into the same spot to put the Canucks up 3-0.

But the Flames werenB次元官网网址檛 about to call it a game.

Less than a minute after LeipsicB次元官网网址檚 goal, CalgaryB次元官网网址檚 Tkachuk caught Markstrom too far out of the net and buried the puck to put his team on the board. Centreman Austin Czarnik and defenceman Noah Hanifin got the assists. The helper was HanifinB次元官网网址檚 first point as a Flame after being acquired from the Carolina Hurricanes during the summer.

Virtanen responded by getting a breakaway and sliding the puck in past Smith as he fell to the ice.

The fifth goal of the period came from Sean Monahan, who ended a battle outside the Vancouver crease with a wrist shot. The shot slipped through MarkstromB次元官网网址檚 legs and into the net. Wingers Johnny Gaudreau and James Neal were credited with the assists.

VancouverB次元官网网址檚 Motte got a pass from Markus Granlund and put a long shot into the empty net with 47 seconds to go in the game.

The Canucks penalty killing unit was forced to put in work against the Flames, with Calgary getting seven power plays.

Vancouver defenceman Gudbranson spent nine minutes in the box, including a five-minute penalty he earned after dropping the gloves with CalgaryB次元官网网址檚 Travis Hamonic midway through the first period.
