In addition, Carl Gunnarsson is expected to be in the lineup Saturday after sitting out Opening Night against the Washington Capitals.
"You can always look at (our depth) two ways," Gunnarsson said. "Just try to see it the way you're going to need all seven guys going through the whole season, and if you play well, you're going to be in. That's the competition of our group, and at the end of the day, I think that makes us better. As much as it (stinks) being on the outside, you just have to be ready for your chance."
Gunnarsson said he would join Pietrangelo on the top defense pair. As a result, Justin Faulk is expected to play with Vince Dunn.
