Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet is benefiting from a healthier roster as key players return from injuries. After a decisive 4-0 victory over the Florida Panthers, Tocchet praised the depth of his team, which has been bolstered by the returns of All-star goalie Thatcher Demko, defenceman Derek Forbort, and centre J.T. Miller.
Miller made an immediate impact with two assists, while other players like Brock Boeser and Carson Soucy contributed to the win. The Canucks have only one player left on injured reserve, Filip Hronek, and Tocchet emphasized the importance of internal competition among players. Meanwhile, Boeser celebrated his 500th NHL game, marking a significant milestone in his career.
