J.T. Miller will be in the lineup for his first, and the Canucks' last, game of the preseason.
The Vancouver Canucks will finally wrap up their preseason on Friday with a game against their Pacific Division rivals, the Edmonton Oilers.
It's curious that it's taken this long for the Canucks to ice something that looks like their regular lineup. This is the first game of the preseason where the Canucks' projected defence partners — Quinn Hughes/Filip Hronek, Carson Soucy/Tyler Myers, and Derek Forbort/Vincent Desharnais — will play together, even if some of the forward lines have gotten their reps in.
"It's our job as coaches to have practices where there is intensity and you try to mimic it," said Tocchet. "I honestly don't see that there's going to be much rust. We've had some really good practices and I think it's been a good camp for a lot of guys." "You kind of get a little more pace to see how he feels after," said Tocchet about getting Hirose back on the ice. "We'll see how he is the next day."
Vancouver Canucks projected lines Depending on when Pius Suter returns from his day-to-day injury, Friday's lineup ought to look an awful lot like what the Canucks will dress opening night. The Canucks have been playing Carson Soucy and Vincent Desharnais together but the results have not been great so far. It's not surprising to see them go back to something that has worked before with Soucy and Tyler Myers, putting Desharnais with his fellow free-agent signing Derek Forbort on the third pairing.
