I didn't see the lineup changes. This has hallmarks of Gulutzan wanting a low scoring, grinding game. I could be wrong but from his post game he didn't like the 'track meet' style game that produced 45 shots on goal.
It will interesting to see if they return to the chip pucks deep offense compared to make plays at the offensive blue line from Tampa game (Tkachuk's play on the Backlund goal).
If true, it's folly IMO because the Tampa game just had an off night from the goalie. The attack produced 4 goals and many dangerous chances. But again, I might be wrong in assessing what the lineup changes mean.
