Lupul and MacArthur flip lines during warmups.
MacArthur has 10 goals this season but only one over his 10 December tilts. Perhaps a move to the top line gets him going.

#Flyers GM Paul Holmgren: "Giroux's status remains the same. We will have an update on Pronger tomorrow, once we have spoken to the doctors"
Flyers are taking a wait-and-see approach with their young superstar. Prepare for the worst, fantasy hockey owners.
Paul Holmgren said that Claude Giroux skated today for about 15 minutes and that's when he said he felt sluggish.
Giroux skating was a positive sign but concussion-like symptoms have to be seen as a setback of some kind.
Claude Giroux is out indefinitely after taking a knee from teammate Wayne Simmonds to the back of the head. After the first couple days, Giroux said he was feeling fine, but the Flyers played it cautiously. The result on Tuesday is exactly why.
Expect Sean Couturier to get a crack at the top line with Giroux out. At this point there is no timetable for his return as his symptoms have gotten worse.
