Status report

The Hurricanes did not hold a morning skate. … Andersen is expected to play for the first time since Oct. 26 because of a knee injury that required surgery Nov. 22. It would be his 500th NHL game. … Maroon did not take part in the Blackhawks' morning skate and the forward is considered day to day. Kurashev replaces him after being scratched the previous four games.
