Rick Tocchet confirms two line-up changes and his starting goalie
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:

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:

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.
