Dom Gagne-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
It's an unorthodox trio, but boy was it effective Thursday.
The Vancouver Canucks' line of rookie Brock Boeser and veterans Thomas Vanek and Sam Gagner combined for a whopping 12 points against the Chicago Blackhawks in a 5-2 win.
The three had a hand in each of the five goals. Vanek led the way with two goals and five points, Boeser chipped in a goal and three assists, and Gagner contributed two goals and one assist.
The three have been particularly hot of late, having combined for 21 points over the last four games.
