Aleksander Barkov, after a long recovery from an ACL/MCL tear, looks to reclaim his status as a top two-way center following a successful international stint. Tyson Foerster, who returned late last season after an arm injury, aims to build on his promising performance. Meanwhile, Thatcher Demko, recovering from hip surgery, hopes to overcome his injury history and return strong for the Canucks.
