Status report
Tsyplakov replaces Shabanov, a forward, in the Islanders lineup after being scratched for three straight and 14 of the past 18 games. … The Canucks called up Nils Pettersson from Abbotsford of the American Hockey League on Sunday and sent defenseman Victor Mancini to the AHL. … Patera was recalled from Abbotsford on an emergency basis with Demko still being evaluated and the goalie set to miss a fourth straight game. Goalie Nikita Tolopilo was sent to the AHL. … Lankinen will start after being unavailable for a 6-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday because of an illness. … Blueger, who last played Oct. 19, practiced in Raty’s spot Sunday but coach Adam Foote did not think the forward would play Monday.
