Canucks shuffle lines ahead of game against Blackhawks, debuting local star Connor Bedard.

The Vancouver Canucks, facing the Chicago Blackhawks on November 16, have reshuffled their forward lines after a poor performance against the New York Islanders, prompting coach Rick Tocchet to apologize. Connor Bedard, a Vancouver native, will play his first NHL game at Rogers Arena. The Canucks will start goaltender Arturs Silovs, while the Blackhawks will use backup Arvid Soderblom. The Blackhawks' lineup also changes, with Taylor Hall replaced by Ilya Mikheyev and Seth Jones on injured reserve.
