The Vancouver Canucks look for their 25th win of the season Thursday night against the St. Louis Blues after coming off a strong 6-3 victory against Ottawa on Tuesday. Despite the win, the team saw a few interesting line combinations at practice Thursday morning in St. Louis:
Some other notes from St. Louis:
- Sam Lafferty is skating on a line with Ilya Mikheyev & Elias Pettersson
- Looks like Nils Äman is back in on the 4th line with Nils Höglander and Linus Karlsson
Andrei Kuzmenko did take some rushes swapping in and out with Höglander.� Kate Pettersen (@CanucksReporter) January 4, 2024
Lafferty, 28, averages just over 12 minutes of ice time per game and typically skates in the Canucks' bottom six, while Aman � who seems to be filling the open spot on the 4th line � has averaged just over 10 minutes per game.
Kuzmenko, 27, was swapping in on the 4th line as an extra forward � a situation he has found himself in numerous times this season. He has just 4 goals in his last 16 games and hasn't recorded an assist since November 15th.
