The Vancouver Canucks will take on their Pacific Northwest rivals, the Seattle Kraken, on Friday night and it appears that Rick Tocchet will be making a major change to his lineup.
Kuzmenko, 27, played in his 100th career National Hockey League game on Wednesday against Colorado, but hasn't been putting the puck in the back of the net as often as he did last season.
In 19 games this season, Kuzmenko has 14 points (three goals, 11 assists), no penalty minutes and is a plus-one.
We'll have to wait until later this afternoon to see what Rick Tocchet has to say about the team's line-up for tonight, but as of now, it looks like Kuzmenko will be scratched.
