Vancouver Canucks forward Loui Eriksson has struggled to maintain a regular spot in the line up as the definition of his role has been undetermined.
Relegated to mostly defensive possessions such as the penalty kill, Eriksson’s offensive production or lack-there-of has been evident and sapped of confidence. This all being considered, head coach Travis Green deferred to Eriksson to slot in on Bo Horvat‘s wing alongside Tanner Pearson.
Horvat and Pearson without Eriksson
The duo has clicked well from the get-go when Pearson arrived in Vancouver after the trade for Erik Gudbranson last season.
