Eriksson and Baertschi get axed ahead of game in Nashville

With their 6-1 loss in Dallas on Tuesday, the Canucks have lost their three last games, including another loss to the Stars on November 14th. This evening in Nashville, Vancouver will try to get back to their winning ways.

In order to achieve this, coach Green has opted to shuffle his assets and to ice brand new line combinations today.

Tanner Pearson will switch places with J.T. Miller as he joins Pettersson and Boeser on the first line. Zack MacEwan integrates the lineup and will play on the right of the 2nd line. Jake Virtanen is demoted to the third line and Tyler Graovac who git the call up earlier this week will complete the 4th line.

The odd men out are Loui Eriksson and Sven Baertschi who will be sidelined tonight as healthy scratches.

On defence, Tyler Myers and Troy Stetcher will trade spots. Myers will play on the third pair, while Stetcher completes the first pair alongside Alexander Edler.

Jacob Markstrom will once again be the starting netminder with Thatcher Demko acting as backup.

Here is the Canucks' projected lineup for the game against the Nashville Predators according to NHL.com correspondent Robby Stanley:

Tanner Pearson - Elias Pettersson - Brock Boeser
