LATEST | Major changes to the team's lineup: Star player to be healthy scratched
The Vancouver Canucks will take on their Pacific Northwest rivals, the Seattle Kraken, on Friday night and it appears that Rick Tocchet will be making a major change to his lineup.
During line rushes at the morning skate, it looked as if
Andrei Kuzmenko was an odd man out and could find himself in the press box tonight.
"McWard and Aman have joined the #canucks in Seattle. Some tweaks to lines if my eyes aren't failing me.
65 40 18
21 88 34
72 9 6
8 53 81
43 17
57 51
82 47
Kuzmenko, McWard and Hirose odd men out."
Kuzmenko, 27, played in his 100th career National Hockey League game on Wednesday against Colorado, but hasn't been putting the puck in the back of the net as often as he did last season.
In 19 games this season, Kuzmenko has 14 points (three goals, 11 assists), no penalty minutes and is a plus-one.
We'll have to wait until later this afternoon to see what Rick Tocchet has to say about the team's line-up for tonight, but as of now, it looks like Kuzmenko will be scratched.
