What happened: Fafa Picault entered for Alexey Miranchuk, who spoke at Thursday's playoff media session, in a 61st-minute substitution while facing a 3-1 deficit.

Why it matters: With just under half an hour left in regulation, the change brings fresh attacking legs onto the pitch in an effort to erase a two-goal margin during the October postseason slate.

What to watch: Picault has the final 29 minutes of regulation plus stoppage time to help close the two-goal gap.
