He moved over to the National Hockey League in 1979, playing just two games before being moved to the Central Hockey League. He then was moved over to the Vancouver Canucks in 1980, where he played the next eight seasons and led the team to their first ever Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 1982. He closed out his career with six games behind the net with the Hartford Whalers in 1987 and play with their American Hockey League affiliate in Binghamton in 1988.
