It’s been a <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/playing-horrible-aatu-raty-speaks-slow-start-abbotsford-canucks">slow start for Aatu Räty</a> as a Canuck.
But on Saturday, he finally broke through and scored while sporting Johnny Canuck on his chest.
The 20-year-old centre scored the game-winning goal for Abbotsford in a 4-2 win over the Colorado Eagles. He batted a puck out of the air and then later in the game added an empty-net goal as insurance. Giving him his first two goals with the Canucks organization.

Räty wasn’t the only young player who found the back of the net. Both of the young Swedish wingers down on the farm picked up goals in the game.
Linus Karlsson opened the scoring when he tapped in a power play goal that came off a beautiful pass from Arshdeep Bains.
