Status report
McBain, a forward, left in the second period of a 6-2 win at the Seattle Kraken on Thursday and did not practice Friday, but coach Andre Tourigny did not have an update on his status. … Utah recalled Simashev, a defenseman, from Tucson of the American Hockey League on Saturday but it’s not clear if he will play because there are other game-time decisions on the Utah defense. … O’Brien draws back in after 18 games as a healthy scratch. … Kane returns after missing that past two games with an undisclosed injury. Douglas, a forward, comes out of the lineup. … Mancini replaces defenseman Elias Pettersson.
