This same situation happened at the RPI, er, Rensselaer tournament. One
of the officials was injured during the Providence-RPI game in the
first period and was unable to continue the game. The linesman went
into the locker room and returned with orange stripes on his sleeves.
They stuck with 2 refs and no lineman. I'm not sure if they'll do this
for conference play or for special situations, but that's what happened.
 
I think it would be more sensible for them to go to a 2-ref system. The
linesman is not as critical as a referee, so why not go with two refs?
