ST. LOUIS -- A day after saying the Wild would deploy the same lineup that earned them a 4-2 win in Game 1, coach Mike Yeo was forced into two lineup changes before Game 2 here Saturday afternoon.
Justin Fontaine and Sean Bergenheim, both of whom played well on the fourth line in Game 1, sat out Game 2, Fontaine because of illness and Bergenheim for an undisclosed reason.
In their place, Matt Cooke and Jordan Schroeder were added to the lineup, inserting experience and speed to an already fast roster. Saturday was Cooke's 104th playoff game, most among Wild players.
