Sprong scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Flames.

Sprong had the Canucks' first goal of the season as the second power-play unit cashed in midway through the first period. The 27-year-old winger began the game on a line with Elias Pettersson, but Sprong ended up with just 13:07 of ice time, third-lowest among Vancouver skaters. He's developed a reputation as a power-play specialist over the last two seasons, earning 26 of his 89 points in that span with the man advantage. As such, it wouldn't be a surprise for Sprong to ultimately end up in a bottom-six role, though that shouldn't hurt his fantasy value in formats that heavily reward offense.
