What happened: Vancouver closed out a preseason date with Edmonton on Thursday. Manny Malhotra joined Jake DeBrusk and Linus Karlsson to break down the game afterward. Karlsson forced a turnover that set up a scoring chance for DeBrusk, and Chris Driedger took over in net to begin the third period.

Why it matters: The reps carry weight entering Malhotra's first season as Vancouver head coach. Preseason minutes are sorting roster roles before the finale.

What to watch: Vancouver plays its final preseason game Saturday.
