There is no doubt that making your NHL debut is a nerve-wracking experience but Bill Arnold and Johnny Gaudreau got a bit of a reprieve from the anxiety thanks to Mike Cammalleri.
Last weekend, the veteran made a point of spending time with the pair of rookies prior to suiting up for their first NHL game in Vancouver. He spotted them sitting down for supper alone and made his way over to eat with them.
"We kind of just shot it. He went to Michigan, he’s a college guy. He talked about his days at Michigan and just told us to go out there and play our game," Arnold said. "When you have a veteran like that come over and just talk to you, kind of settle you down, it really helps out a ton."

"They went to BC, not Michigan," he chuckled. "I don't how smart they are. They probably didn't get in to Michigan, either of them. Even though the program would obviously love to have them, they probably couldn't get through the academic criteria would be my guess
