The Vancouver Canucks have assigned a pair of players to the Abbotsford Canucks.
Forwards Carson Focht and William Lockwood will both be heading to the AHL, the club announced Saturday.
Focht was a little banged up early in camp but showed well, and Lockwood is likely to be a top candidate for recalls at the forward group.
The Canucks play their final preseason game tonight against the Edmonton Oilers in a 6 p.m. PST puck drop.
