The Penguins will make one lineup change tonight in Game 7 as Tanner Glass is in for Beau Bennett who is a healthy scratch. Bennett who has one goal in 12 playoff games, took two undisciplined penalties in Game 6.
Glass has not played since Game 1. The Penguins are in need of some sandpaper and grit, Glass led the team with 247 hits in the regular season.
Out for the Penguins again tonight is Brooks Orpik who will miss his third straight game and sixth game of the series. If the Penguins lose tonight, Orpik has likely played his last game as a Penguin.
Another expected change tonight is Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin being split up. Crosby moments ago centered Chris Kunitz and Brian Gibbons in warmups.
