Despite the fact that Sutter does not make lineup changes very often (rarely) during a playoff series, I think after studying the video from the last 3 games and perhaps anecdotally from the Kings series he might make a change to Calgary’s defensive core.
As much as the team is missing Tanev, it’s obvious he can’t play, however they have a rested Mackey and Valimaki, so perhaps one of them cracks the game 4 lineup. Healthy and rested, could make a difference if nothing else some fresh legs and proper gap control (keep it simple) could help on the backend.
The playoffs are a marathon, so having healthy and rested players to help the team is a definitely a positive.
