Morning skate pairings

At the Game 1 morning skate at Staples Center, the defensive pairings included Regehr/Doughty, Muzzin/Voynov, Scuderi/Martinez and Ellerby/Greene.

The fourth line was a combination of Tyler Toffoli, Colin Fraser and Jordan Nolan. Kyle Clifford did not take the ice.

The above pairings would be an indication that no lineup changes are expected from Game 6 of the St. Louis series. Darryl Sutter will speak to the media shortly; I’ll update the blog immediately if any changes are possible.

I’ll have a full lineup projection later in the day, which will include San Jose’s alignments. Quotes from Dustin Brown, Drew Doughty and Rob Scuderi will also go up in addition to a Jake Muzzin interview.
