Canucks' Andrei Kuzmenko: Responds well to scratch

Kuzmenko scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

Kuzmenko was a healthy scratch for the last two games as his playing style continues to clash with head coach Rick Tocchet's vision for the team. The 27-year-old winger has still performed relatively well despite his reduced role, accumulating eight goals, 11 helpers, 44 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 29 games. He's unlikely to play much of a physical style, but Kuzmenko can score and set up linemates well as long as he can stick in a top-six role.
