Lineup | Arshdeep Bains gets massive opportunity on the top line with Vancouver Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks will be kicking off their first road trip of the season with a interesting lineup. Rookie prospect Arshdeep Bains will be getting a huge opportunity to play on the top line alongside J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser when they face off against the Tampa Bay Lighting.
The Canucks have lost their first two games of the season in extra time, and the disappointment of not having a stronger start has raised question marks on the lineup. Elias Pettersson has been basically invisible on the ice and now, head coach Rick Tocchet is deciding to shake things up.

It may be a little bit surprising that Bains' first game of the season will be on the top line with Miller and Boeser, but Tocchet has given his reasons of whu shaking up the lineup and giving other players opportunities is important at the start of the season.
He also continued to explain that it is not just about opportunity, but about the kind of game Bains plays and how he thinks it will compliment Miller's and Boeser's style of of play. He feels that the line will have lots of chemistry.
Do you think this is a good decsion to put Arshdeep Bains on the top line with J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser?
