Ryan is expected to be back in the lineup for Game 6.

Ryan was a healthy scratch in Game 5 but it looks like he could replace Sam Carrick in the lineup for Game 6. Carrick remained on the ice with the scratches during Sunday's morning skate, an indication that he's coming out of the lineup, although no changes were confirmed by head coach Kris Knoblauch.
