After losing Game 4 on Tuesday night, which saw their series against the Edmonton Oilers tied up at 2-2, the Vancouver Canucks appear to be making some big changes to their line-up for Game 5.
In a post on social media on Thursday, Brendan Batchelor shared the lines from the morning skate and it looks like the Canucks will be making three changes, including a pair of veterans who are set to become healthy scratches.
"Morning skate #Canucks lines
Höglander. Lindholm. Pettersson.
Suter. Miller. Boeser.
Joshua. Blueger. Garland.
PDG. Åman. Podkolzin.
Extras: Mikheyev, Lafferty, Karlsson
Hughes. Hronek.
Soucy. Myers.
Zadorov. Cole.
Friedman. Juulsen.

It'll be interesting to see if these are the lines that Rick Tocchet decides to go with tonight. Ilya Mikheyev and Sam Lafferty haven't been strong in this series, so taking them out of the line-up makes sense, while giving Podkolzin and Hoglander an opportunity to prove they can make an impact.
Puck drop for Game 5 tonight is set for 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET and can be viewed nationally across Canada on Sportsnet and CBC.
