Canucks mailbag: How should the playoff lines look?

The shortest path is the Canucks win Saturday against the Flames, the Flames then lose Sunday in Seattle, while the St. Louis Blues lose Saturday against Minnesota and again Monday vs. Vegas. If any of those games go a different way, qualification will instead be locked in later in the week.And so it’s fair and reasonable to think about what the line up might look like.

“Who knows comes out next. Could be maybe a surprise to you guys, but for us, it’s this is the way we got to go with it,” Tocchet said after Thursday’s 4-1 defeat of the Montreal Canadiens. “You know, then some guys might not like it, but that’s just the way it is. We’re going to have to keep everybody on their toes. And sometimes guys coming out doesn’t mean he’s playing bad. It’s just that we have to do this right now.”Up front, the return of Dakota Joshua will require a roster move.

It’s important to understand how positive an influence Pius Suter has been for J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser: when those three have been on a line together, they’ve controlled more than 60 per cent of the shot attempts. That’s a very dominant line.The Canucks really wanted Pettersson and Lindholm to work together, but he’s such a strong option to have as your third-line centre.
