Jakub Vrana appears to have made the postseason starting lineup, as Barry Trotz has slid him into the third line with Lars Eller and Devante Smith-Pelly.
Chandler Stephenson is centering the fourth line with Jay Beagle out with injury.
Rookie Shane Gersich, who was impressive during his short stretch of games, appears to be a likely scratch for Game One.
