The Canucks will be making some changes to their lineup as well, albeit not because of injury. The Canucks will shuffle their first two lines, with Markus Granlund moving into the second line center spot, which was vacated by Brandon Sutter. Sutter has been moved to first-line right wing with Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin.
That was the combination that the Canucks used in their come from behind victory over the Dallas Stars Sunday. “We needed to get something going so we went back to that combination,” coach Willie Desjardins said. “We had him there early last year and I liked that combination. We just got beat up so badly in the middle last year we had to take him out of it because of that. It’s not just that line, maybe we can get something out of Eriksson and Granlund together as well.”
