The team enjoyed some success with Boudreau behind the bench, as they went 32-15-10. Vancouver finished the season in fifth place in the Pacific Division with a 40-30-12 record.

It was revealed that Boudreau would remain as the head coach of the Canucks for the 2022-23 season.

There were many highlights in what was an eventful 2022 NHL Draft, but Boudreau meeting Owens has to be up there as one of the best.
