Jack Rathbone looks promising

Jack Rathbone was coming off a really good year with Harvard, leading to him signing an entry-level deal last July. After a brief but good stint with the Utica Comets, the Canucks called their 2017 fourth round pick up to the big leagues.

Safe to say he didn’t disappoint.

Rathbone managed three points in eight games, including his first NHL goal against the Edmonton Oilers on May 6th. He also provided good skating, spent some time on power play, made some nice passes and wasn’t too bad on the defensive side.

If there is one thing to look forward to next season, it would be that we could see a full year of Rathbone on the left side.
