Status report

Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy said there would be no lineup changes from their 5-4 shootout loss to the New York Islanders on Tuesday. … The Flyers held an optional morning skate. … Ristolainen skated Thursday and has been cleared for contact. There is no timetable for the defenseman to return to the lineup but coach Rick Tocchet said “I’d be shocked” if Ristolainen didn’t play before the Christmas break. … York skated Thursday but the defenseman will miss his third straight game.
