Status report
The Sabres traded defenseman Robert Hagg to the Florida Panthers before their morning skate for a sixth-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. … Either Juulsen or Poolman, who has been skating since Monday, could take the place of defenseman Travis Hamonic, who was traded to the Ottawa Senators for a third-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft on Sunday. … The Canucks didn't have a morning skate and coach Bruce Boudreau didn't reveal his starting goalie.
