Is it possible to find out somewhere which 5 players that will start a game in NHL?

This isn't really that relevant in hockey, with frequent shift changes. The starting five will account for the first ~90 seconds and then change. The more relevant information is if a team is mixing things up by changing their lines around by seperating or combining key players, which will sometimes be mentioned in the team report on the team's web pages, but often won't be known until game time.
