Torts shakes up lines, VGK overcomes "nervous start" in win over Canucks

Torts shakes up lines, VGK overcomes "nervous start" in win over Canucks

John Tortorella said he made some changes to start the second period against Vancouver last night, because VGK wasn't playing direct and was playing tentative and nervous in the first. To start the middle period Torts flipped Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner to center the first and second lines. The Golden Knights scored three times in the middle period enroute to a 4-2 victory over the hapless Vancouver Canucks. It was a long day for Tortorella, who attended practice, met with the media and players, and coached his first game behind the Golden Knights bench. He said he was a little stale himself messing up line changes and calling Nic Dowd by another name. But in the end he got VGK to play more to its identity. He wanted the team to play faster and more direct. We also dissect the comments made by Torts and GM Kelly McCrimmon.
