Line Change
Thompson-Vinny-Purcell
Teddy Purcell draws back in the lineup to play with Vinny Lecavalier. In an attempt to get more drive out of him, coach Guy Boucher made him a healthy scratch last game. With one goal and three points through his first four games, expect him to step it up a notch.
Line Change
looks like Purcell/Shannon out
In his first four games this season, Purcell has a goal and two assists. Even though he produced, coach Guy Boucher was incredibly upset with his work ethic in their demoralizing loss to the Islanders. Look for him to re-enter the lineup with extra drive.
Line Change
Dominic Moore is on the ice for #tblightning this morning after missing Tuesday
Moore was held out of yesterday's practice due to an illness. Through his first three games, the third line center already has a goal and an assist. As a vital member of the team's checking lines, his absence yesterday was likely precautionary.
Boucher, as of today, expects Moore to be ready for Friday opener vs Carolina, provided rest of this week goes well
Doesn't sound serious as Moore has no structural damage on his back. Last season he scored 18 goals and 32 points while provided solid, two-way play on the third line. Expect him to repeat those totals this season under coach Guy Boucher.
The Lightning have agreed to a two-year deal with wing Teddy Purcell, avoiding an arbitration hearing. Terms have yet to be offically disclosed, but it's believed to be $2.35 million in first year, and $2.37 million in 2012-13.
