The only personnel change from Saturday's opener is the benching of defenseman Shane O'Brien in favor of Mike Lundin. O'Brien really struggled, obviously, during Saturday's game and was out of position on Markus Naslund's goal. Coach Barry Melrose defended O'Brien to a degree saying he was being "picked on" a little too much, and that goalie Mike Smith should have stopped Naslund's shot, which might be a fair point.

At the same time, O'Brien sits, and a coach doesn't do that (in the second game, mind you,) if he isn't unhappy with what he saw.

"There were a couple of mistakes made before that puck went in," Melrose said. "I think everyone is picking on O'Brien a little bit too much. That was an angle shot, and Smitty, an NHL goalie will make that stop 99 times out of 100. But O'Brien we would like him to be more physical, not run around as much and, hopefully, watching a game will be good for him."

Melrose said that was the only change.
