Wednesday in Seattle the team tried almost an entirely brand new set of forward combinations, notably featuring Jordan Martinook playing alongside Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis.
It remains to be seen whether those groups will stay together today.
The only certainty is that defenseman Ethan Bear will miss his third game due to being in COVID-19 protocol.
While we do not know if there will be other changes today, or who will start in goal, this is the lineup that the team dressed in their most recent game:
Forwards:
Martinook - Aho - Jarvis
Lorentz - Trocheck - Teravainen
Svechnikov - Staal - Fast
Niederreiter - Kotkaniemi - Necas
Defensemen:
Slavin - DeAngelo
Skjei - Pesce
Smith - Cole
Goalies:
Andersen
Raanta
Scratches:
Derek Stepan
Injuries:
Ethan Bear (COVID-19)
