They have not said, just ”lower body injury”.
They’ve practiced the PP lately, but with the same personnel as usual. So I don’t think they’re making any tactical changes, just reinforcing what worked earlier.

Hmm ... somewhere around Row F I think. I'm in Row J and have about a 50/50 split unless I sit bolt upright, but I honestly don't even notice the net anymore. I got used to it pretty quickly, although I'm aware that it seems to impact different people in different ways.
All I know is that Brind'Amour has held off on making line changes ahead of the playoffs in each of his past three seasons. So ... maybe. I don't see the upside, and I think the PK unit has been fine when they don't make individual mistakes with the puck or positioning.

It gives potential playoff opponents video to use to plan how to attack or defend us. If we have some tweaks we think would be good why reveal them now and let teams have time to plan for it.
