David Schlemko may begin the Western Conference final in the lineup for Phoenix if it is deemed that Adrian Aucoin (undisclosed) cannot play. Schlemko suited up in Game 6 against Chicago in Round 1 and he played in two more games versus Nashville on the Coyotes' semifinal match-up. "I thought he handled himself very well," coach Dave Tippett said. "We'll kind of evaluate where we are over the next few days and figure out which six gives us the best chance to be successful, and that's what we'll go with." Schlemko has no points, eight blocks, four shots and a plus-1 rating in the postseason.
