''We've put a lot of faith in our goaltending coach (Ian Clark) who's got a good feel for him,'' Canucks GM Dave Nonis told The Canadian Press. ''We did play against him last year with (AHL) Manitoba and he played very well against us. Clarkie feels he's a guy who's gotten better every year.

Sabourin, 26, was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the fourth round (108th overall) in 1998. He played four games with the Flames in the 2003-04 season, posting a 3.55 goals against average and .848 save percentage. He was signed as a free agent by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2005 and played in one game that season, allowing four goals in 21 minutes played. Last season, Sabourin went 30-14-4 with a 2.26 GAA and .922 save percentage in 49 games with the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. He was named to the AHL's first all-star team and won the Aldege Bastien Award as the league's outstanding goaltender. Sabourin also collected the Harry Holmes Award for posting the lowest team GAA.
