Adding Podkolzin, Bains and or Hoglander would change their lineup and give it a different look. Also having Thatcher Demko available sooner than later would be a huge lineup change as Tocchet said that he has improved immensely over the last 72 hours. Canucks goalie Artrus Silovs has given the Canucks time to see where Demko is in his rehab.
The 19-year-old Lekkeirmaki was drafted by the Canucks in the 2022 Entry draft, 15th overall. He played the bulk of his year in the Swedish Hockey League on loan with Orebro HK and had played 46 games, scoring 19 goals, 12 assists for 31 points and 10 penalty minutes.
It remains to be seen what Tocchet will do, and Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch with Paul Coffery will need to be ready for their adjustments as Game 5 will be tomorrow May 16th and game time will be at 10 pm eastern.
