Lineup Update

Andersen instead of Gibson, Fistric instead of Stoner.

Freddie Andersen off the ice first. Looks like he's your starter tonight against Buffalo. #ridethehothand

From the look of rushes, Mark Fistric may draw in on third pair with Clayton Stoner likely coming out. BB has hinted at getting Fistric in.
