The Calgary Flames have had success tweaking their playoff lineups so far and are expected to do so again in Game 1 of their second round matchup against the Anaheim Ducks.
Roger Millions of Sportsnet reports that forward Drew Shore will replace Mason Raymond in the Flames' Game 1 lineup. Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun confirms Millions' report.
The 24-year-old Shore - who would be making his NHL playoff debut - hasn't appeared in a game since April 11, recording just three points in 11 regular season games.
Raymond has just one assist in four playoff games after potting 12 goals and adding 11 assists during the year.
The Flames had success with the unexpected additions of Sam Bennett and Micheal Ferland to their lineup in the first round.
