This run ties the second-longest streak in franchise history, and the team will rely on Spencer Martin in goal to keep the momentum alive.Martin has been a steady presence, recording 19 and 22 saves in back-to-back wins over Dallas and the New York Rangers earlier this week. Head coach Rod Brind’Amour confirmed Martin’s start and shared an update on Pyotr Kochetkov, who remains sidelined under concussion protocol.“Kochetkov looks fine and is feeling good, but there are specific protocols he needs to complete,” Brind’Amour explained. “I’m not sure if he’ll back up or play tomorrow, but it’s close.”Forwards Martin Necas and Seth Jarvis continue to shine offensively. Necas leads the league with 37 points this season and has recorded points in four consecutive games, including three multi-point outings. Jarvis, returning from injury earlier this week, has scored in both games since rejoining the lineup, extending his active point streak to three games alongside linemate Sebastian Aho.On the blue line, Dmitry Orlov has been a force, boasting a league-best +19 plus-minus rating and a career-high seven-game point streak.The lineup remains unchanged from Wednesday’s win over the Rangers, with balanced contributions expected across all lines and power play units.Projected Lineup
