As mentioned in today’s preview, Pavel Buchnevich has to sit out tonight’s game against the Canucks due to Canada’s 10-day wait from your last positive test before a person can enter the country. That means an opportunity for Logan Brown, who is back in tonight, on the third line with Ivan Barbashev and Vladimir Tarasenko. Not the same kind of momentum-generating machine there, but still, Brown has been playing very well in his time with the team this season.
Overall, not much else is different from Friday night. If you have a 5-0 shutout in your previous game, why mess with the lineup that got it for you?
