What happened: Brad Marchand and Duncan Keith have been removed, while Josef Stumpel was added. Tomas Kaberle switched teams for the farewell exhibition in Trencin.

Why it matters: The changes reset both sides less than a week before the event. Chara's appearance gives the hometown send-off a final on-ice chapter rather than a ceremony alone.

What to watch: Puck drop is scheduled for 6 p.m. local time Friday at Stadion Pavla Demitru.
