Coach Don Lucia is sticking with what got him and the Gophers here:
Forwards
1st line/ No. 7 Kyle Rau -- No. 27 Nick Bjugstad -- No. 24 Zach Budish ... size here with Bjugey and Budish, speed with Rau
2nd line/ No. 11 Sam Warning -- No. 19 Erik Haula -- No. 21 Jake Hansen ... Haula has been Gophers' best player in playoffs
3rd line/ No. 16 Nate Condon -- No. 22 Travis Boyd -- No. 9 Taylor Matson ... lots of speed
4th line/ No. 14 Tom Serratore -- No. 13 Nico Sacchetti -- No. 17 Seth Ambroz ... two big hitters with Nico
D-pairs
No. 4 Seth Helgeson -- No. 12 Justin Holl ... two big guys
