Connolly will be a healthy scratch for Game 2 against the Penguins on Saturday, sitting in favor of Paul Carey.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly has seen his ice time drop precipitously in these playoffs. As opined by JJ Regan of CSN Mid-Atlantic, Carey has earned the start based on his skating skills being superior to that of Connolly. Either way, this concerns the fourth line, a spot in which mining for fantasy value is generally a fruitless exercise.
