Piecing together the Canucks pre-season schedule

They will play 7 games in total, with two games against Calgary, Edmonton, and San Jose and then one contest against the Arizona Coyotes.

The Edmonton Oilers were first to announce their pre-season schedule on twitter on Tuesday, which gave us information on two of the games:

That revealed the Canucks hosting the Oilers on Wednesday September 28th, and then concluding their pre-season schedule with a visit to Rogers Place in Edmonton on Saturday October 8th.

The Arizona Coyotes released their pre-season schedule via press release on Thursday afternoon, that revealed that the Canucks would be hosting the Coyotes on Monday October 3rd:

The only day that there could be a game would be Thursday Oct 5th, all other dates would result in three games in three nights. 

With that, the Canucks pre-season schedule should be (obviously subject to change):
