LATEST | Tocchet explains the reasons for his major line changes: One of the team's top scorers on the fourth line

Rick Tocchet then had the opportunity to speak to the media and offered explanations for his radical line changes:

Tocchet referred to this as an opportunity for players to activate in playing with some of the leader guys (Vitaly Kravtsov with Elias Pettersson). The team's head coach also specified that it wasn't necessarily a punishment to have guys move around the lines. Kuzmenko has 37 goals on the season and added one more last night, but Tocchet felt like now was a good time to try a new mix and move players around to see if there could be some chemistry.

The Canucks will be playing their final game at home tomorrow when the Flames come for a visit. The team is currently trying to build new bases, standards, and surely culture for next year since the game's results are meaningless. It's definitely in everyone's best interest to try things out and see if we wouldn't be able to find unexpected chemistry!
