While you shake off the shock of Ben Bishop not even playing in Game 4 of the 2015 Stanley Cup Final, here are some other interesting lineup notes.
The Chicago Blackhawks see the most changes. Johnny Oduya and Kimmo Timonen are in the mix, while Kris Versteeg shuffles Bryan Bickell back into the press box. Timonen’s Cup Final appearance should feel quite different from his last one:
The last time Kimmo Timonen was on the ice in the Stanley Cup final he was chasing Patrick Kane in Game 6 of overtime in 2010.

Joel Quenneville also might be mixing up the lines tonight:
I heard rumblings that the lines might be significantly jumbled today. Q sends out Saad-Shaw-Kane to start. Hmm... #Blackhawks

On the Tampa Bay Lightning’s end, Jonathan Drouin is not getting in the lineup, as Nikita Nesterov keeps the Bolts in their 11-forward, seven-defensemen alignment. Other than that, nothing significant, right?
