Former Vancouver Giants teammates square off in Abbotsford Canucks playoff series
Tristen Nielsen's scouting report on Trent Miner could probably include Miner's favourite breakfast cereal. Article content Nielsen's Abbotsford Canucks host Miner's Colorado Eagles tonight (7 p.m.) at the Abbotsford Centre in the opening game of the best-of-five AHL Pacific Division final. Game 2 is also at the Abbotsford Centre Sunday (6 p.m.) before the series shifts to Colorado, starting with Game 3 next Wednesday. Article content Article content Nielsen is a forward wrapping up a two-year free-agent contract with the Vancouver Canucks. Miner's a goaltender who was a seventh-round draft pick of the Colorado Avalanche in 2019. They were teammates for three seasons in junior with the Vancouver Giants, and they billeted at the same home for two of those campaigns. Article content 'Great guy,' Nielsen, 25, said Thursday after practice of Miner, 'but I want to put 'em by him.' Article content The Eagles (43-21-5-3) won the Pacific Division regular season crown, finishing two points in front of Abbotsford (44-24-2-2), and Miner was a key component for the Colorado Avalanche's top farm team. Article content Miner finished fifth in the AHL in goals against average (2.12) and seventh in save percentage (. 918) during the regular season while fashioning a 22-10-6 record. Article content This season the 24-year-old from Brandon also made his NHL debut (coming on in relief in a 5-2 loss to the Washington Capitals on Nov. 15) and his first NHL start (a 3-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Jan. 8). Article content Article content Article content 'It depends if you can manipulate the goalie or the goalie is manipulating you,' Nielsen said. Article content 'When you're going in, you have to read him. Is he an aggressive goalie? Is he a play-in-his-net goalie? It just depends.' Article content Colorado and Abbotsford are among the eight teams left standing in pursuit of the AHL's Calder Cup. This is the fourth season that Vancouver has had its farm team in Abbotsford, and this is the furthest that they've got into a post-season. Article content 'I feel like we can play in any weather, whether it's a really physical game or a speed game. That helps us,' Nielsen, who's in his fourth season with Abbotsford, said. 'We've got the depth. We've got the personnel.' Article content Through the first two rounds, Abbotsford was led in scoring by winger Sammy Blais, 28, who had three goals and eight points in the seven games. Fellow winger Phil Di Giuseppe, 31, was next with three goals and six points. Seven players had scored at least twice for Abbotsford, and that included Nielsen, who had that pair of tallies to go with one assist.

This season the 24-year-old from Brandon also made his NHL debut (coming on in relief in a 5-2 loss to the Washington Capitals on Nov. 15) and his first NHL start (a 3-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Jan. 8). Nielsen would have a good book on his tendencies after three seasons of practices together. And Miner would be well versed in Nielsen, too, after all that time. Who has the advantage? 'It depends if you can manipulate the goalie or the goalie is manipulating you,' Nielsen said. 'When you're going in, you have to read him. Is he an aggressive goalie? Is he a play-in-his-net goalie? It just depends.' Colorado and Abbotsford are among the eight teams left standing in pursuit of the AHL's Calder Cup.

Nielsen, who's a scrappy, tenacious type, put up 15 goals and 28 points in 67 regular season games with Abbotsford. Colorado was the league's top scoring team in the regular season (250 goals, or 3.47 per game). Nielsen pegged Colorado as a 'fast team, a transition team,' and added that 'they've got some high-end skill, and the want to play off the rush.' They had a first-round bye. Coming into this series, their top playoff performers so far included one-time Canucks forward Jayson Megna, 35, who had three goals and six points in four games. 'There's a reason they finished first in the division. They're a high-pace, high-skilled team.
