Same Lineups For Game 2

Rick Carpiniello at The Rangers Report writes...

"Both coaches said this morning that there will be no lineup changes tonight.

Actually, Tom Renney said he’s leaning toward using the same lineup. The NHL coaches handbook pretty much dictates that the winning coach in any Stanley Cup playoff game doesn’t dare make any changes. The losing coach often does, but Sutter said he wouldn’t.

And that includes Brian Gionta, who was banged up (side, ribcage, something) in Game 1. Gionta skated this morning and said he was fine and that he’ll play."

...got to stay with what works. Even though I don't agree with the line combinations.
