In the playoffs, sometimes changes are subtle. Sometimes they are more noticeable.
Entering Monday night's Game 3 against the Predators, the adjustments were expected to be minimal. After morning skate, Stars coach Jim Montgomery said he anticipated using the same lineup as he did in Games 1 and 2, save for the substitution of Jamie Oleksiak for Taylor Fedun on the back end.
During warmup, though, the Stars unveiled a revamped lineup that included Jason Spezza and Valeri Nichushkin for the first time in the first-round series. Mattias Janmark and Tyler Pitlick came out of the lineup.
