Lilleberg, a defenseman, was called up from Syracuse of the American Hockey League but will not play. ... Vasilevskiy will make his seventh straight start. ... Rodrigues and Bennett each will return; Rodrigues missed two games and Bennett one, each with a lower-body injury. ... Bobrovsky will start for the sixth time in eight games, and will be backed up by Cormier with Stolarz out.
