Vancouver Canucks Lines Juggled by Tocchet
Canucks Try to Find Chemistry Ahead of Playoff Push
Miller, Pettersson, and Boeser Reunite on Top Line
Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet has been experimenting with line combinations in an attempt to find the right mix of players ahead of the playoffs. The Canucks have struggled to find consistency this season, and Tocchet is hoping that some changes will help the team turn things around.
The most notable change is the reunion of the "Lotto Line" of JT Miller, Elias Pettersson, and Brock Boeser. The trio was one of the most productive lines in the NHL last season, but they have struggled to find their footing this year. Tocchet is hoping that a return to their old line will help them rediscover their chemistry.
Other changes include the promotion of Nils Höglander to the second line with Conor Garland and Andrei Kuzmenko. Höglander has been one of the Canucks' most impressive players this season, and Tocchet is hoping that he can provide some scoring punch to the second line.
The Canucks will have a chance to test out their new lines when they face the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. The Oilers are one of the hottest teams in the NHL, so it will be a tough test for the Canucks. However, Tocchet is hoping that the changes he has made will help the team get back on track.
