LATEST | Rick Tocchet confirms it for Ian Cole and Noah Juulsen

The Canucks will tinker with their lineup ahead of Thursday night's game with the Montreal Canadiens.

Head coach Rick Tocchet is giving Ian Cole the night off, saying that while the veteran D could play if needed, he could use the night off.

In his place, 26 year old defenceman comes back into the lineup after not playing for a week.

Juulsen has been steady when called upon by the Canucks, and although he's not an everyday player, he's already smashed his career high in games played with 50 coming into the night.

While he'll be happy to get back into the lineup in any case, it could mean a bit more against the team that drafted him in 2015.
