LATEST | Tocchet makes line-up change ahead of Thursday game vs Pittsburgh
The Vancouver Canucks continue their road trip on Thursday night as they take on Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. So far on the road trip, the Canucks have gone 3-1-0, winning their last three games.
On Thursday morning, the Canucks took to the ice for the morning skate at PPG Paints Arena and it appears that Rick Tocchet will be making a line-up change.
According to Thomas Drance of The Athletic, Ian Cole will be drawing back into the line-up tonight as he skated alongside Nikita Zadorov during line rushes, while Noah Juulsen will be the odd man out.
"Ian Cole taking like rushes with Nikita Zadorov at #Canucks morning skate in Pittsburgh and looks like he'll draw back into the lineup." Drance said.
Cole, 34, has appeared in 40 games for the Canucks this season where he's put up seven points (one goal, six assists), 36 penalty minutes and is a plus-five.
Thomas Drance also shared the Canucks lines from the morning skate and the forward group, along with defensive pairings aside from Ian Cole, remain unchanged from Tuesday's win over the New York Islanders.
"#Canucks line rushes at morning skate in Pittsburgh on Thursday:
Pettersson-Miller-Boeser
Mikheyev-Suter-Kuzmenko
Joshua-Blueger-Garland
Höglander-Åman-Lafferty
Hughes-Hronek
Zadorov-Cole
Soucy-Myers"
Puck drop for tonight's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins is set for 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET on Sportsnet Pacific in the Vancouver region.
