The Vancouver Canucks are looking for a spark with their top power play unit. The team has not converted on any of its six power plays in the first two games of the first-round series against the Nashville Predators. Head coach Rick Tocchet made a change at today's practice, having Elias Lindholm replace Conor Garland on the top unit. Elias Petterson, Quinn Hughes, J.T. Miller, and Brock Boeser all kept their spots.
The Vancouver Canucks mounted a third-period comeback to take Game 1 of their best-of-seven series against the Nashville Predators 4-2, thanks to two goals from forward Dakota Joshua.Nine years since the Canucks last hosted a Stanley Cup playoffs game, the Predators entered a deafening Rogers Arena on Sunday night."The building was crazy. You think you know what to expect until you get out there and you don't," said Canucks' forward Dakota Joshua of the game atmosphere.Starting goaltender Thatch
Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet has been juggling the lines almost every game trying to find the right mix for the playoffs. With only six games remaining on the schedule, it's crunch time, and the Canucks are nowhere near where they want to be, roster and performance-wise. The Lotto Line was once the best top line since Henrik and Daniel Sedin were joined at the hip with Alex Burrows, and the West Coast Express, which featured Markus Naslund and Todd Bertuzzi riding shotgun with Brendan Morrison.
