"Up front, we're looking at shuffling some things around," said McLellan. "Connor's line is in on a lot of offensive chances but they've been giving up a lot. The other two lines give the ability to find a way to score a little bit more and take the pressure off our goaltender and the back end."
McLellan says the defensive pairings may not change much. Judging by practice, we could see Eric Gryba make his return on the third pair tomorrow against the Islanders.
"The defence pairings aren't going to change a whole lot," McLellan said. "We'll move guys in and around the lineup. The six or the seven of them have done quite a good job for the most part, I think. We've made a lot of progress in that area.
"It's up front where we've been hit or miss with different lines on different nights. One line is clicking and two others aren't. Perhaps the most consistent threesome has been our fourth line of (Tyler) Pitlick, (Anton) Lander and (Mark) Letestu. They seem to give us a good game every night in the minutes they're given."
