Status report
Ritchie, a forward, is questionable. ... Watson will be out 4-6 weeks after the forward was injured blocking a shot in the final seconds of a 2-1 win against the Calgary Flames on Monday. ... Tkachuk and Reilly each missed practice Tuesday for maintenance, but will play. ... Formenton will make his season debut.
