The team did not hold a morning skate today because of it being the second game in as many days, and Rod Brind'Amour's media availability consisted of two primary notes:
The only listed changes below are Antti Raanta as the starting goalie, being that Frederik Andersen started last night. This is not set in stone though, merely a projection. It is not completely out of the equation that Andersen could go again tonight, Dan Vladar of Calgary started again last night after playing just 24 hours prior against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Additionally, Alex Lyon was recalled to the team's Taxi Squad Friday afternoon.
Those things considered, the projected lineup is:
Forwards:
Niederreiter - Aho - Teravainen
Svechnikov - Trocheck - Fast
Kotkaniemi - Staal - Necas
Lorentz - Stepan - Jarvis
Defensemen:
Slavin - DeAngelo
Skjei - Pesce
Cole - Bear/Smith
Starting Goalie:
Raanta
Injuries:
Ethan Bear (?)
Scratches:
Jordan Martinook
Brendan Smith (?)
