Due to the optional nature of the morning skate, the exact configurations of the forward and defense pair lines remain uncertain. However, a projected lineup has been developed based on the previous game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Below are the expected player pairings:
- Forwards:
- Pavel Buchnevich – Robert Thomas – Jimmy Snuggerud
- Dylan Holloway – Brayden Schenn – Jordan Kyrou
