Status report
Bear, a defenseman, did not take part in the morning skate. … Dowd, a center, participated in line rushes during the morning skate, but remained on the ice afterwards and could miss his fifth game. If Dowd plays, Eller would likely move to left wing on the third line with Sheary moving to the fourth line.
