For the first game, when everyone's healthy, I expect either or both of Armstrong and Prust to be on Plekanec's line. You need shutdown ability on that line, which at least Prust has.

Armstrong-Plekanec-Prust
Moen-Plekanec-Prust
Gionta-Plekanec-Prust
White-Plekanec-Prust
White-Plekanec-Moen

Are legitimate possibilities. Keeping the DD-Pac-Cole line together, which I think Therrien will go for, means putting Plekanec into a defensive role.
