Coach Joel Quenneville used “could” to describe Trevor van Riemsdyk’s playing status for the second time this series on Monday. This time, however, it like van Riemsdyk is getting his shot.
Van Riemsdyk and Bryan Bickell are expected to play Monday night when the Blackhawks host the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.
On the other side, Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper wouldn’t divulge whether or not Ben Bishop would start in goal; Bishop did address the media but did not talk about what ailed him or if he was starting.

As for Van Riemsdyk, he was in the room earlier Monday – David Rundblad was still on the ice as the room was closing, usually a sign a player will be scratched.
