PITTSBURGH -- The projected lines and defensemen pairings for tonight's game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and New Jersey Devils at Consol Energy Center:
PENGUINS
Chris Kunitz – Sidney Crosby – Pascal Dupuis
Zach Boychuk – Evgeni Malkin – James Neal
Matt Cooke – Brandon Sutter – Tyler Kennedy
Tanner Glass – Dustin Jeffrey – Craig Adams
Robert Bortuzzo – Deryk Engelland
Injured: Matt Niskanen, Kris Letang
Scratched: Eric Tangradi, Joe Vitale, Joe Morrow
Morrow was recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League this morning, so it's very possible the 2011 first-round pick makes his NHL debut tonight. Coach Dan Bylsma termed his recall "insurance" for "bumps and bruises" among Pittsburgh's defensemen. Martin was the only defenseman to skip the team's morning skate.
DEVILS
Stefan Matteau - Travis Zajac - Ilya Kovalchuk
Patrik Elias - Adam Henrique - David Clarkson
Ryan Carter - Stephen Gionta - Steve Bernier
Krystofer Barch - Jacob Josefson - Bobby Butler
Anton Volchenkov - Marek Zidlicky
Injured: Dainius Zubrus
Scratches: Peter Harrold, Henrik Tallinder
Coach Peter DeBoer said there will be no changes in the lineup a day after the Devils beat the Penguins in Newark.
