Who's playing with who and also, if you guys could list the defensive pairings as well, it would be greatly appreciated.

It's virtually impossible to say, at this point. Tortorella's been shaking things up pretty frequently, and after another loss I wouldn't be surprised to see him do it again. With Clymer and Roy injured, lately (i.e. last couple of games) it's been like this:

Modin-Lecavalier-St. Louis
Stillman-Andreychuk-Willis
Cibak-Richards-Fedotenko
Afanasenkov-Taylor-Dingman

And with Boyle out, the D pairings have roughly been:

Cullimore-Sarich
Lukowich-Pratt
Rumble-Kubina

But those switch up often, too, because Rumble can't be counted on to play many minutes.

So, basically, the answer is ... we don't know.

Injuries will do that but thanks for giving me an idea of what they do look like :handclap:

Richards' play on the 3rd/4th line is a temporary one, IMO while he is slumping offensively. When he comes out of it, look for the lines to go back looking something like this:

Stillman-Richards-St. Louis
Modin-Lecavalier-Willis
Fedotenko-Andreychuk-Afanasenkov
Cibak-Taylor-Dingman

When Clymer comes back from his concussion, then Cibak likely sits and Clymer takes a spot on the third or fourth line.

Also, when Boyle comes back from his concussion, the defensive pairings will look like:

Cullimore-Sarich
Lukowich-Boyle
Pratt-Kubina
