The regular season is ready to get underway, as the Canucks would go first to Calgary to open the season. Vancouver got on the board first on a Ryan Kesler breakaway goal. Solid defensive work from the 'Nucks kept the score there until Alexander Burrows scored the empty netter with 15.8 seconds left. Roberto Luongo faced only 13 shots and the Canucks had their first win on the year.
Game 2 was the home opener, as the Canucks got set to host the Edmonton Oilers. The Canucks got a quick one, as a Daniel Sedin tip in on Alexander Edler shot gave them the lead just a minute and 27 seconds in. The Oilers came back quickly to score as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins sniped one home just four minutes later on the power play. Another powerplay goal in the second period came as Taylor Hall put home a rebound goal. However, Derek Roy was there for the Canucks, putting home the tying goal with 5 minutes left in the second. Ryan Kesler continued the onslaught, as he put one home just one minute later. Two minutes into the third period, Taylor Hall put home his second goal of the game to tie it up. The teams would hold it there, and the game would enter overtime. Daniel Sedin slotted away his second goal of the game in overtime, and the 'Nucks won their home opener.
Game 3 was the end of the 2-game homestand, as the Canucks played host to the Hurricanes. Johan Hedberg got the start, and promptly turned over the puck to Alexander Semin for an early goal. Jiri Tlusty would snipe one home as well as the Hurricanes took the 2-goal lead. Cam Ward was magnificent as he would hod it there for a 28-shot shutout.
The final game of this installment was Game 4. The Canucks traveled to Nashville to take on the Predators. Mason Raymond gave the Canucks the lead just under 10 minutes in, as he slotted away a rebound chance. David Legwand would tie it up just over 6 minutes later, however. Daniel Sedin would give the Canucks back the lead with 13 seconds remaining in the first on an insane snipe. Luongo would take it from there for the close 2-1 victory.
