Mike Sullivan promoted Alex Galchenyuk to the top line, forcing Jake Guentzel over to the right side. Jared McCann moved up from the third-line left wing to the second-line left wing. Dominik Simon skated on the third line, which moved Dominik Kahun from the right wing to the left wing.

"(Galchenyuk) has the ability to score goals," Sullivan said of the new top line.
