The Canucks are getting ready for what should be one of, if not the most important, game they've played in the playoffs thus far. After they've exchanged the wins in Vancouver, the Nucks will have their first meeting with the Oilers at Rogers Place.

There had been some discussions regarding potential line-up changes, but Rick Tocchet didn't confirm nor deny the possibility. The team's morning skate had certain players moved in and out of their usual spots; Tocchet revealed he'd be making these calls when comes game time:

In 5 post-season starts, Silovs has managed 2.52 goals against average, with a save percentage of 89.9%. The rookie will look to improve those numbers as he prepares to hit the ice against some of the NHL's best offensive producers, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
