Canucks' Sheldon Dries: Pots goal Saturday
Rotowire
Dries scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

Canucks' Sheldon Dries: Puts away third goal
Rotowire
Dries scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.
Dries provided a quick response to Trevor Lewis' go-ahead goal for the Flames in the second period.

The 28-year-old forward is up to three goals, seven points, 29 shots, eight PIM, 15 hits and a minus-6 rating through 16 contests. He saw third-line usage Wednesday, but his spot in the lineup is far from guaranteed.
