Pittsburgh, PA (Best E Casino) - The Pittsburgh Penguins will make a lineup change for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday, as Darryl Sydor will replace rookie Kris Letang on defense.

The Penguins trail the best-of-seven series, 2-0, losing the first two games in Detroit without scoring a goal.

Sydor, a Stanley Cup champion with Dallas in 1999 and Tampa Bay in 2004, has not appeared in a playoff game this spring. He appeared in 74 games during the regular season and notched a goal with 12 assists.

"We liked what we saw from our defensemen, so we didn't have any reason to change," said Penguins head coach Michel Therrien on Wednesday. "It's a different story now."

Letang has two assists in 16 games this playoff season.
