LATEST | Canucks adopt interesting line changes: Nils Hoglander finally gets promoted
Tonight, it'll be a battle of the Hughes brothers at Rogers Arena as Quinn and the Vancouver Canucks take on Jack, Luke and the New Jersey Devils.
The Canucks hit the ice at Rogers Arena for their morning skate and thanks to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 radio, we now know the projected lines for tonight's game.
"Morning skate #Canucks lines
Kuzmenko. Miller. Boeser.
Mikheyev. Pettersson. Lafferty.
Joshua. Blueger. Garland.
Höglander. �man. Karlsson.
PDG.
Hughes. Hronek.
Cole. Juulsen.
Zadorov. Myers.
Friedman." Batchelor said.
Based on these lines, it looks like forward Phil Di Giuseppe and defenceman Mark Friedman will be the odd ones out tonight, skating as extras. Meanwhile, it's expected that Thatcher Demko will get the start between the pipes after getting the win in Calgary on Saturday night.
Thomas Drance of The Athletic is reporting that Andrei Kuzmenko is back with the team's first powerplay unit, while Nils Hoglander has been bumped down to the second unit with Linus Karlsson, Filip Hronek, Ilya Mikheyev.
Puck drop for tonight's game against the New Jersey Devils is set for 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET and can be viewed on Sportsnet Pacific in the Vancouver area.
