Coach Maurice:  Status of Trouba/Lowry.  On the penalties.  How would he describe the penalty kill?  What goes into the through process of moving Ehlers?  On Ehlers being the player that moves lines.  How does he think Hellebuyck looked facing that many shots in two games?  On Kulikov’s status.  Does he expect to use the same lineup tomorrow?  On the Kings firepower.  What did he think of Vesalainen’s game after two contests?
