Global News asked some of the Vancouver Canucks about their nicknames. One player didn't seem to like his very much.

Sven Baertschi scored twice, including the winner on a power play with under four minutes to go in the third period, and Ryan Miller made 24 saves for the 350th victory of his career as the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 on Monday.

Joseph LaBate, defenceman Troy Stecher, with a goal and an assist, Brendan Gaunce, and Erik Gudbranson also scored for Vancouver (1-0-1) in its first home pre-season game.
