Status report
Neither team held a morning skate. … Markstrom could start after Vladar made 24 saves in a 4-3 win at the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. … Werenski is expected to return after missing two games with a quad contusion. If he is activated off the injured list, a corresponding move will need to be made. … Merzlikins did not play in a 4-0 loss against the Detroit Red Wings on Monday because of illness, but is expected to start.
