The Canucks are preparing for another exhibition game and this time, Tocchet is icing a very, very young line-up.
The Oilers revealed a line-up filled with stars, featuring notable players like Connor McDavid and Vasily Podkolzin. The Canucks on their end will be presenting a line-up filled with inexperience with Phil Di Giuseppe and Kiefer Sherwood as the players with the most experience.
An interesting combination is in place with Aatu Raty centering Nils Hoglander and Jonathan Lekkerimaki. Arshdeep Bains, Pius Suter and Daniel Sprong will top the Canucks' lineup. While the defense will be featuring the rookies D-Petey and Kirrill Kudryatsev.
JT Miller shines by his absence once more
Tocchet opened up on the veteran's absence from the team's first pre season games. According to the information he delivered, the belief was the Canucks number 9 would be seeing some action against the Oilers, but just like he did for the first four pre-season games, he'll be sitting out.
This game will be a great test for the young Canucks, the Oilers will not only have Connor McDavid to contain; as Leon Draisaitl will also draw into Edmonton's line-up. He'll have the veterans Jeff Skinner and Viktor Arvidsson by his side, which will definitely make for an interesting speed and goal scoring mix.
Puck drop is set for 7 PM in Edmonton, Kevin Lankinen will be the man guarding the net. He'll have a second opportunity to show what he's capable of after making his Canucks debut on Friday against the Kraken. Do you think the Canucks will have what it takes to beat a nearly full Oilers line-up?
