FILE - In this March 25, 2017, file photo, Vancouver Canucks' Brock Boeser, left, who was signed the day before, scores against Minnesota Wild goalie Darcy Kuemper as he made his NHL debut during the second period of an NHL hockey game, in St. Paul, Minn. After North Dakota lost the seventh-longest game in NCAA Tournament history, Boeser traveled back to campus, told coaches and teammates he decided to turn pro and the next morning boarded a flight from Grand Forks to Minneapolis. He signed his first NHL contract, got a crash course on systems from the coaching staff and was in the Vancouver Canucks’ lineup at 1 p.m. against his hometown Minnesota Wild with family and friends watching.
