Despite going undrafted in previous years, Bains signed with his hometown Vancouver Canucks in the offseason. He showcased his skills last year in the AHL with the Abbotsford Canucks and carried that momentum into this season, tallying 39 points in 42 games.
Though he's yet to record his first NHL point, at just 23 years old, Bains undoubtedly has a bright future ahead of him in the NHL.
