Status report
Neither team will hold a morning skate. … Tolopilo is expected to start after Lankinen returned from a three-game absence because of an upper-body injury and made 28 saves in a 4-3 shootout victory at the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. … Gauthier returned to practice Saturday; he has missed five games with an upper-body injury and said he plans to play. … Gudas, a defenseman, practiced in a regular jersey and will be a game-time decision; he has also missed five games.
