PITTSBURGH -- The Ottawa Senators are tweaking their lineup for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final.

Head coach Guy Boucher said that Chris Kelly or Tommy Wingels will take the place of rookie Colin White in Thursday night's decisive game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Kelly has yet to dress since the first round against Boston, but the 36-year-old forward does have 91 games of playoff experience. He also won a Stanley Cup with Boston in 2011 and delivered an inspirational speech to the Senators on Tuesday ahead of a 2-1 Game 6 win.

Wingels, meanwhile, played in the Stanley Cup final with San Jose last year and has 54 games of post-season experience.

Boucher said he wanted to add some extra experience to the lineup, adding the choice would likely come down to positional need. Kelly is a centre and Wingels has often lined up on the wing with Ottawa.

The Penguins, meanwhile, might have some reinforcements for Game 7.

Pittsburgh head coach Mike Sullivan said that both defenceman Justin Schultz and winger Patric Hornqvist would be game-time decisions.

Schultz hasn't played since Game 2. He suffered an upper-body injury when he hit the boards awkwardly after a hit from Ottawa's Mike Hoffman.

The 26-year-old Schultz leads all Pittsburgh defencemen with eight points in 14 games this post-season. His return would provide a much-needed boost to a group that's without top defenceman Kris Letang for the playoffs.

Hornqvist, meanwhile, has been out since the series opener due to an upper-body injury. The Swede has four goals and seven points in 13 games this post-season.
