PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins hope to take a 3-1 series lead over the Washington Capitals with a Game 4 victory Wednesday night (8 ET), but to do so will be some kind of feat without No. 1 defenseman Kris Letang, who is suspended. Here’s what to watch for:
Letang's replacement: Well, there’s no such thing. But it appears Justin Schultz will draw in for his second playoff game of the spring, having not played since the opening game against the New York Rangers.
Head coach Mike Sullivan doesn't confirm lineup changes, so we’re just speculating, but Schultz was skating on a pairing with Ian Cole at Wednesday’s morning skate; Derrick Pouliot was paired with Trevor Daley while Brian Dumoulin was with Ben Lovejoy.
