No practice yesterday so we’ll take a guess that lines are staying the way they were at the end of the last game, with Wilson reunited with his second-line compatriots and Raddysh getting the promotion to the top line:
Protas – Strome – Raddysh
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Lapierre – Eller – Mangiapane
Duhaime – Dowd – Miroshnichenko
Fehervary – Carlson
Sandin – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk
Thompson
Lindgren
