Tocchet makes changes to Canucks line-up for Game 3 vs Edmonton
Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks will take on the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 of their second round series. Currently, the series is knotted up at one game a piece and it appears that at least one change is coming to the line-up.
During Sunday's morning skate, Linus Karlsson was skating on the second line with Elias Pettersson and Ilya Mikheyev, signalling that Nils Hoglander will be a healthy scratch for Game 3.
Meanwhile, Phil Di Giuseppe, who has played in all eight of Vancouver's playoff games this year, was not on the ice this morning, according to Thomas Drance of The Athletic. Skating in his spot was Swedish forward Nils Aman.

PDG doesn't appear to be on the ice." Drance said in a post on X on Sunday.
The Canucks haven't look as great as everyone knows they can be and while the comeback in Game 2 was fun for all fans, Rick Tocchet, along with his coaching staff, will want the team to have a better start in Game 3 and not have to play from behind for the majority of the night.
Puck drop for Game 3 is set for 6:30 p.m. PT/9:30 p.m. ET and can be watched across Canada on Sportsnet and CBC.
