In the absence of Elias Pettersson, the Vancouver Canucks have shifted J.T. Miller to centre, springing the idea of potentially keeping him there, even when the 22-year-old Swede is 100 percent healthy and returns to the lineup.
The ‘Lotto Line’ — consisting of Pettersson, Miller, and Brock Boeser — has been one of the most dominant trios in the National Hockey League — when they’re on their A-game.
