“I think this gives us a little more depth through our lineup,” Reirden said. “I think that’ll give us a better chance from that standpoint. Obviously, we looked at some things systematically that we can do different, but ultimately it comes down to our desperation level needing to match theirs. They were the more desperate team in Game 3, and we need to match that tonight.”
The Capitals’ blue line has seen a considerable amount of movement since defenseman Michal Kempny tore his left hamstring late in the regular season, and Reirden indicated that Siegenthaler could see some shifts to defenseman John Carlson’s left on Thursday night. He’s expected to start the game playing on his off side, the right, on a third pairing with veteran Brooks Orpik.
Brind’Amour said he is unsure if Svechnikov will play this series and doesn’t know if Svechnikov was concussed; the young forward has been “surprisingly doing well,” according to the coach.Andrei Svechnikov is skating this morning. #ALLCAPS #CANES @nbcwashington pic.twitter.com/GTFABJ8Me6 “I think every coach wants to stick [with] the same [lineup], that usually means it’s going well you are going to stick to the same stuff,” Brind’Amour said Thursday morning. “Now, obviously, we have guys out so we are forced to make some moves, but it doesn’t make it any harder, any different.
