With Wennberg out, rookie Sonny Milano will enter the Columbus lineup after being a healthy scratch in Game 1. He'll skate at left wing on the third line with Brandon Dubinsky at center and Josh Anderson on right wing.
Milano, the No. 16 pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, had 22 points (14 goals, eight assists) in 55 regular-season games. The 21-year-old had five points (two goals, three assists) in nine games with Cleveland in the American Hockey League.
This will be Milano's second Stanley Cup Playoff game. He had no points in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the Pittsburgh Penguins last season.
"I'm pretty excited," Milano said. "I'm just going to keep playing the same way, try not to change a thing."
Tortorella said Milano has yet to completely grasp the defensive side of the game but has the skill to make a difference offensively.
"He's another guy that can make something out of nothing and score a big goal for you," Tortorella said. "We've gone with that attitude here the last couple years; we're not going to play safe. We're going to take some chances. I think Sonny is very attentive as far as learning the other side of the puck. Has he mastered it? Not by any stretch. There's still a lot of things he needs to learn, but he can make an offensive play."
Having won once on the road, the Blue Jackets can take control with another win in Game 2. The series shifts to Columbus for Games 3 and 4 on Tuesday and Thursday.
"Just because you win one doesn't make it good enough," Foligno said. "You need four in a series. We have a great opportunity in front of us against a team that's going to come out just as hungry and hard, and it's going to be an even harder game than it was in Game 1. So we have to be ready for that."
