Status report
DeBrusk, a forward, will be a healthy scratch with Frederic entering the lineup at fourth-line left wing. ... Wagner and Kuhlman rotated at fourth-line right wing during practice Monday. … Rask will start with Halak the backup; Swayman made 28 saves with Halak backing up in a 1-0 loss to the Penguins on Sunday. … Malkin wore a no-contact jersey during the morning skate Tuesday; the center will miss his 21st straight game.
