Linus Karlsson Leads Abbottsford Canucks to 3-2 Win over Charlotte Checkers to Win Calder Cup

The Abbotsford Canucks secured their inaugural Calder Cup title by edging the Charlotte Checkers with a 3-2 victory on Monday evening.
The series had extended to six games after the Canucks lost Game 5 at home in overtime due to a ricochet goal by Jesse Puljujarvi.
Linus Karlsson netted the goal that put his team ahead toward the end of the second period, with Sammy Blais and Danila Klimovich adding to the scoring, while Arturs Silovs recorded 28 saves.
Karlsson leads playoff scoring with 25 points, followed closely by Arshdeep Bains with 22 points. Silovs stood out in goal, earning the playoff MVP honors by recording 16 wins and five shutouts throughout the postseason.
The Canucks became Vancouver's first AHL affiliate to win the Calder Cup and the first Canadian club to do so since 2018, ending the series 4-2 over Charlotte.
