Canucks rally to beat Blackhawks in Tocchet's debut

Andrei Kuzmenko scored twice as Vancouver beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-2 in Rick Tocchet’s debut behind the Canucks’ bench. Dakota Joshua, Sheldon Dries and Bo Horvat also scored for the Canucks as they snapped a three-game losing streak.

Fans at Rogers Arena greeted him and his staff with a mixture of cheers and boos when they were introduced in the first period. The Canucks will look to make it two in a row for Tocchet when they visit the Seattle Kraken tonight.

Also, Tanner Jeannot scored the go-ahead goal in the third period as the Nashville Predators edged the Winnipeg Jets 2-1. Pierre-Luc Dubois scored the only goal for the Jets 48 seconds into the game.

The Toronto Maple Leafs host the New York Rangers, the Ottawa Senators entertain the New York Islanders, and the Edmonton Oilers welcome the Columbus Blue Jackets in NHL action tonight.
