Jacob de la Rose gets into the lineup, and will play in the left-wing slot on the fourth line. Dale Weise plays opposite Alex Galchenyuk on a line centred by David Desharnais.

Devante Smith-Pelly sits out yet again

On defence, Victor Bartley did not take part in the morning skate and will not play tonight. However, Nathan Beaulieu has been moved down to the third pairing alongside Mark Barberio, and Alexei Emelin moves up to play beside Jeff Petry.
