Status report

Cogliano, a forward, participated in the morning skate Wednesday but will not play. … With Cogliano out, the Avalanche will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. … Arvidsson, a forward, is not expected to play after being injured in practice Monday. … Kaliyev, a forward, will serve the first of a two-game regular-season suspension for kneeing Anaheim Ducks forward Chase De Leo in a preseason game Oct. 3. Kaliyev was also suspended for the last two games of the preseason. … With Arvidsson and Kaliyev each unavailable, the Kings will play with 11 forwards and six defensemen because of NHL salary cap considerations.
