Game 2 Changes?
Mike Babcock wasn't hinting at any after Saturday's morning skate, though he'd said Friday he planned to dress both Kirk Maltby and Darren McCarty for warmups from here on out and then scratch one. I would imagine Maltby's still in and Mac's still out, though, for Game 2.
As for the Stars, the bad news (for Dave Tippett) is that this morning Stu Barnes (post-concussion symptoms) was feeling the effects of yesterday's workout, so he won't be in the lineup tonight. Might see a change on the blue line, where Mark Fistric, who was on the ice for three goals in Game 1, could get benched in favor of Matt Niskanen. If that's the case, Tippett likely will shuffle all three of his pairings as he did in practice Friday.
