TAMPA - The Carolina Hurricanes will tinker with their lineup as they travel to Tampa in search of their first win against the Lightning in the Second Round.
Vincent Trocheck, who suffered a lower-body injury late in the second period of Game 2, did not participate in the morning skate and is doubtful to play, according to head coach Rod Brind'Amour. Morgan Geekie is likely to draw into the lineup, and Petr Mrazek gets the nod in net.
"Petr has been ready for a while. We'll give him a shot tonight," Brind'Amour said. "Ned has been great. That's not really the issue. He's played a lot of games, and we're going to need everyone as fresh as possible."

Here is the projected lineup for the Hurricanes.
