Bonk had treatment for back spasms this am, will not know if he will play this evening until game warm-up. If Bonk doesn't play, Lapierre will centre fourth line with Begin moving to the 3rd line.
I thought they would have used this as an opportunity to shake up the second line, maybe trying Kovalev at centre, and moving Johnson or Latendresse to the right wing to be a finisher on the line. We could then have moved Begin bak to his natural wing spot with Lapierre centering the 4th line.
