Of course they did - lines rarely are set in stone for an entire tournament (unless you're Victor Tikhanov and the Soviet Red Army team)
Those lines from game 1 didn't last long. And whenever they needed a goal, it was Gretzky - Lemieux - somelucky####er
The big goal, that everyone remembers, had Gretzky, Lemieux, Hawerchuk and Propp on the ice, IIRC (and there is a very good chance that I don't)
