-Jarret Stoll’s status has been upgraded to a “gametime decision,” per Dan Rosen of NHL.com. If he is unable to play, expect Trevor Lewis to center the third line with Dwight King to his left and Tyler Toffoli to his right. Jonathan Bernier did not skate at yesterday’s practice. There was no morning skate prior to Game 1, so lines are based heavily off rushes at practice on Friday.

-Chicago has shifted lines around in practice and may be looking to spread scoring throughout the lineup. Bryan Bickell has been moved to the top line with Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa, while Patrick Sharp and Patrick Kane will be centered by former King Michal Handzus. Sharp, Toews and Kane had been stacked together late in the Detroit series.
