Projected Lineup: Game Seven, Round Two vs. NYR

RALEIGH, NC. -Although Rod Brind'Amour shuffled two of his forward lines during Saturday's Game 6 loss, it looks like he'll be going back to the lineup that his team has utilized for the majority of the series against the New York Rangers.

Nino Niederreiter is expected be back alongside Jordan Staal and Jesper Fast, after concluding the most recent affair on the wing of Vincent Trocheck and Martin Necas. Andrei Svechnikov, who was bumped to join the Staal-Fast combination, will be back with Trocheck and Necas.
Antti Raanta will make his 13th start of the postseason after being pulled 3:24 into Saturday's second period. Raanta allowed three goals on 12 shots, but the team has full confidence he'll bounce back tonight.
"He'll put it behind him and move forward. That's all we need to do," Brind'Amour said when asked if he had to have a conversation with the netminder following Game 6.
Pytor Kochetkov, who finished the contest in relief, is expected to back up once again.
