The line up for the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Pittsburgh Penguins was fairly different a day after losing to the Philadelphia Flyers 4-2.
J.T. Brown was taken out by a head shot from Wayne Simmonds, and Ryan Callahan is resting his surgically repaired hip on a back-to-back. Braydon Coburn also remains out with a day-to-day injury after leaving Thursday’s game early.
The Lightning recalled Michael Bournival and Erik Condra from the Syracuse Crunch to replace Brown and Callahan in the lineup. The other lineup change was Nikita Nesterov being scratched in favor of Slater Koekkoek. Andrei Vasilevskiy started in net for the 9th game in a row.
