What changes will we see with Tortorella behind the bench?

Tonight will mark the first game behind the bench for new coach John Tortorella. We should see some immediate changes. He believes in tight checking, especially 5v5. Accountability is a big thing with Torts. If you don't comply, he will bench even star players. We are curious to see what lineup he will put on the ice this evening. He also has to clean up a lot of areas with the team in short order. VGK cannot keep chasing games, they have trailed 3-0 in eight of their last 16 games. VGK needs to play a more physical game under Torts and they need to get back in the win column having lost the last three games, six of seven and 12 of their last 16 games. Tortorella is only signed through the end of the season according to reports. If he fails and VGK can't get out of the first round of the playoffs, does that mean GM Kelly McCrimmon will be the next to get the ax? We also have a preview of tonight's VGK-Vancouver game.
