Colorado coach Patrick Roy shuffled his lines after P.A. Parenteau left Sunday night's game with an apparent serious knee injury. Jamie McGinn was moved up to the top line with Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly, and Nathan MacKinnon played in place of Parenteau on right wing with Paul Stastny and Gabe Landeskog on the second unit. If Parenteau is out of action for a lenghty period and McGinn plays well and can keep this gig, he is well worth a waiver claim.

McGinn has four goals and four assists in 20 games this season.
