Preds vs. Hawks Game 3 Projected Lineups: Same Seats

New venue, same lineup.

According to Adam Vingan of The Tennessean, the Preds are going with the same lines and defensive pairings that helped get them two wins in Chicago. Obviously this means no Colin Wilson, but Peter Laviolette would be a fool to tinker with this lineup too much.

As for the Blackhawks, Joel Quenneville has switched some wingers around again. According to Chris Hine of the Chicago Tribune, Nick Schmaltz returns to the top line, while Ryan Hartman and Dennis Rasmussen flip flop spots on the 3rd and 4th lines. Also, according to Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times, it doesn’t look like there will be any changes on defense and Corey Crawford probably starts in net.
