Kris Knoblauch is tinkering again.
The Edmonton Oilers head coach is making at least one lineup change for Monday's Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers, adding defenceman Vincent Desharnais to the lineup at the expense of Cody Ceci.
Desharnais, who has sat out the last four Oilers playoff games — he was scratched in favour of Philip Broberg in Game 4 of the Oilers' Western Conference Final series against the Dallas Stars — will play on a defensive pairing with Darnell Nurse.
Nurse and Ceci were on the ice for the first two Panthers goals in Game 1, a 3-0 Florida victory.
Monday's move is the first time Ceci has been a healthy scratch for the Oilers.
Knoblauch said he's making the move to insert "new life" into the lineup, something he's done throughout the post-season, "and it's paid off."
"We've got an excellent, capable person who hasn't played the last few games," Knoblauch said of the six-foot-seven, 226 lb. Desharnais.
