The Vancouver Canucks are taking a drastic step to try and wake up one of their star players.

Canucks Healthy Scratch Star Sniper

It has been announced that the Vancouver Canucks are expected to scratch forward Andrei Kuzmenko.

#Canucks forward Andrei Kuzmenko will be a healthy scratch tonight against Seattle.

Kuzmenko, 27, has three goals, 14 points through 19 games played with Vancouver this season.

Thatcher Demko appears to be the starter tonight for Canucks.

Coach Rick Tocchet still on the ice, as is Andrei Kuzmenko, who will be a healthy scratch against Kraken.

While Kuzmenko's offense continues to be a standout feature of his game the rest of the areas of the ice are a concern. This decision is reportedly a wake-up call to remind Kuzmenko good offense isn't enough in Vancouver.
