McWard scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
McWard's tally was the first of his pro career, coming in just his second game. The Canucks have used the last few weeks as a chance to audition some blueliners, including recent signees like McWard and Akito Hirose. McWard has three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through his first two NHL contests. He should be in the mix for a roster spot next fall.

McWard made his NHL debut in Thursday's win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
McWard was recently signed, but he's getting an immediate opportunity with the big club. He played 14:35 of ice time, posting one block. With all the injuries to the Canucks blue line, McWard could get a few more games before the campaign closes.
