PITTSBURGH -- The projected lines and defensemen pairings for a game Sunday night between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Tampa Bay Lightning at Consol Energy Center:
LIGHTNING
Cory Conacher - Steven Stamkos - Teddy Purcell
Benoit Pouliot - Vincent Lecavalier - Martin St. Louis
Alex Killorn - Nate Thompson - Tom Pyatt
Richard Panik – Adam Hall - BJ Crombeen
Marc-Andre Bergeron - Brian Lee
Injured: Ryan Malone, Mattias Ohlund, Matt Taormina
Scratches: Keith Aulie, Brendan Mikkelson, Pierre-Cedric Labrie
The Lightning did not have a morning skate Sunday, but they are expected to stick with the same lineup that produced a 5-2 victory at the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday -- with the exception of Lindback being back in goal.
PENGUINS
Chris Kunitz – Sidney Crosby – James Neal
Beau Bennett – Brandon Sutter – Pascal Dupuis
Matt Cooke – Dustin Jeffrey – Tyler Kennedy
Tanner Glass – Joe Vitale – Craig Adams
Simon Despres – Deryk Engelland
Injured: Evgeni Malkin
Scratches: Robert Bortuzzo, Zach Boychuk
With Malkin out, Neal moves onto Crosby's wing. Sutter is promoted to the second line, and Dustin Jeffrey slots into a third-line center role. Jeffrey was a healthy scratch for much of the season but had a goal Friday.
