Update: Lines for tonight are Chris Kreider-Mika ZIbanejad-Rick Nash; Jimmy Vesey-Derek Stepan-Mats Zuccarello; Jesper Fast-Kevin Hayes-J.T.MIller; Michael Grabner-Josh Jooris-Brandon Pirri. Defense pairs are Ryan McDonagh-Nick Holden; Marc Staal-Adam Clendening; Brady Skjei-Dylan McIlrath.

Original Post: Per Steve Zipay, both Dan Girardi (hip) and Pavel Buchnevich (back) are out tonight against San Jose. Girardi was expected to be out, but the Buchnevich news is new for today.

Josh Jooris will likely dress tonight in Buchnevich’s place. My guess is that Pirri gets Buchnevich’s spot with Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad, while Jooris slides in to the 4C role.

If Kevin Klein still can’t go, then expect Dylan McIlrath to get into tonight’s game.
