The Canucks are moments away from stepping onto the ice for the most crucial game of the season.

Rick Tocchet was on the stand after the Canucks held a very optional morning skate. Thatcher Demko, Vasily Podkolzin, Noah Juulsen and Linus Karlsson were the notable bystanders in practice and should be sitting for game seven:
Gate closed at a highly optional Game 7-morning skate.

Thatcher Demko was working with Podkolzin, Juulsen, Karlsson, Friedman and Wolanin - so those are your projected Game 7 #Canucks  scratches.

With Boeser's absence, the Canucks' pilot, will most certainly have to remodel his line-up. During his passage on the stand, Tocchet announced that Sam Lafferty and Ilya Mikheyev would be rejoining the Canucks' starting 20.
He also confirmed that rookie netminder Arturs Silovs would be the man to lead the Canucks on the ice in this game seven:
«We're looking at two guys coming in tonight,» Tocchet says of Sam Lafferty and Ilya Mikheyev, who should have legs after being healthy scratched the past couple of games.

Confirms that Arturs Silovs will start Game 7. #Canucks

Tocchet has yet to reveal his lines, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Miller with Pettersson. Elias Lindholm will most likely center Dakota Joshua and Conor Garland. Missing one of the team's offensive players, they'll definitely need to step their game up and be resilient, just all season long.
