According to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650, Bains was on the top line at practice Friday, which would be a great assignment for the youngster.

Canucks' Arshdeep Bains: Makes final case for roster spot

Bains scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Friday's 4-1 preseason win over the Oilers.

The 23-year-old had no points, seven hits, six PIM, four shots on goal and a minus-5 rating over eight NHL appearances last season, so it's unlikely he sees much more than a bottom-six assignment.
