Penguins' Schultz expected to replace healthy Maatta in Game 2
by from on (#1DYEN)
The Pittsburgh Penguins are likely going to shake up their blue line for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final, as defenseman Justin Schultz is expected to be in the lineup Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Schultz will replace Olli Maatta, who remained on the ice with the regular healthy scratches during Monday's morning skate.
Head coach Mike Sullivan has said his lineup of defensemen will be a game-time decision, but he was critical of Maatta's Game 1 performance. The young Finn was on the ice for the Lightning's first goal Friday, as Alex Killorn snuck behind him and scored on a breakaway.
