Rick Tocchet has been trying different mixes in hopes of finding a lineup that would be take him and the Canucks to the playoffs. The team's recent performances have been the emergence of, not only an excellent third line for the Canucks, but possibly one of the best in the entire league.
Despite being involved in every trade rumour the Canucks were named in, Conor Garland has been showing it to work this season. The feisty winger has been driving a very interesting mix of intensity, grind, speed and tenacity.
The Golden Knights iced a line made out Reilly Smith, William Karlsson and Michael Amadio. Big, efficient and played with an elevated pace.
