Game 1 lineup notes

Projected Lines – Los Angeles

Dustin Brown – Anze Kopitar – Justin Williams
Dustin Penner – Mike Richards – Jeff Carter
Dwight King – Jarret Stoll – Trevor Lewis
Kyle Clifford – Colin Fraser – Brad Richardson

Robyn Regehr – Drew Doughty
Rob Scuderi – Slava Voynov
Jake Muzzin – Matt Greene

Jonathan Quick
Jonathan Bernier

-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.

Projected Lines – Chicago

Bryan Bickell – Jonathan Toews – Marian Hossa
Patrick Sharp – Michal Handzus – Patrick Kane
Brandon Saad – Andrew Shaw – Viktor Stalberg
Marcus Kruger – Dave Bolland – Michal Frolik

Duncan Keith – Brent Seabrook
Johnny Oduya – Niklas Hjalmarsson
Nick Leddy – Michal Rozsival

Corey Crawford
Ray Emery

-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.
