After a subpar effort in the Canucks win to the Coyotes, after Allvin announced that Linus Karlsson had been called up from Abbotsford, everyone thought that Andrei Kuzmenko was headed right to the press box.

TOCCHET CONFIRMS HIS LINE-UP

Earlier today, the team's Head Coach made it known that there would not be any changes to the lineup that played the Coyotes. Thatcher Demko will guard the cage, and Kuzmenko will remain on the starting 20.

Tocchet even adressed the media regarding Kuzmenko and revealed he had a ‘feeling'.


#Canucks won't change the lineup. Thatcher Demko gets the start, and Andrei Kuzmenko stays in the lineup.

«I just have a feeling,» says Tocchet of keeping Kuzmenko in the lineup. Wants to see him focus on shooting and playing a direct game downhill


There have been many talks regarding Kuzmenko; Rutherford even let it slip that he was up for discussion. Currently pacing for 16 goals and 37 points, a lot of concern has been raised regarding his future with the Canucks.
