BRIEF: Lightning could alter lineup for Game 2

June 06--The Lightning could be making a lineup change for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Jonathan Drouin, a 20-year-old forward, could make his series debut for the Lightning. In Game 1, coach Jon Cooper dressed 11 forwards and seven defenseman, as he has been prone to do throughout the playoffs.

That roster configuration could change if Drouin gets the call.

"If it was my decision, I'd be on the ice every night, but it's not up to me," Drouin said. "Some fans want me out there, some fans understand it's not really up to me to change the decision. Fans will agree and fans won't."

Drouin has played in three playoff games and hasn't played since the Lightning's second-round series against the Canadiens.

For the Hawks, Brad Richards and Corey Crawford did not participate in the morning skate, but both are fine to play, coach Joel Quenneville said.

Trevor van Riemsdyk will not play in Game 2 while Kris Versteeg is likely to get the nod over Bryan Bickell on the second line alongside Richards and Marian Hossa.
