More lineup changes for Ducks. Update.
First the good news: Todd Marchant is back from his broken
pinkie finger (presumably, the pin is out) and in the starting lineup.
The interesting news: Centers Brendan Morrison and Samuel Pahlsson were scratches; Morrison is healthy and Pahlsson has come down with the flu. Both the Sabres and Ducks sent their checking lines out to start the game, which tonight for Anaheim means George Parros, Marchant, and Drew Miller. Also, for the second straight game, Chris Pronger is paired on defense with Brett Festerling, Scott Niedermayer with Brett Hedican, and Brendan Mikkelson with Steve Montador.
The bad news: Sabres are up, 1-0 through one period.
