Tanner Glass arrived at the Vancouver Canucks training camp as an unheralded summer signing who looked destined to provide depth for the Manitoba Moose.

Glass, 25, will likely end up with the Canucks’ AHL farm club, but the hard-nosed winger has impressed so much in six preseason games that he’s clearly moving at great speed up the depth chart.

The Craven, Sask., native has a rep for being physical and handy with his fists, but he’s also shown he has the wheels to get in on the forecheck and the hockey smarts to move the puck efficiently. In fact, his line — with centre Mario Bliznak and winger Steve Bernier — against San Jose on Wednesday was the Canucks’ most effective. Glass scored the Canucks’ third goal in the game, a beauty top-shelf job after the line’s forecheck caused a turnover.
