Status report
Neither team held a morning skate Friday after playing Thursday. ... MacDonald and Annunen each was recalled from Colorado of the American Hockey League on Friday. ... Kuemper, a goalie, did not travel for the purpose of rest, and more players, including Makar, a defenseman, are not expected to play for the same reason. ... Dumba and Spurgeon each return after being out with an upper-body injury; Dumba missed 12 games, Spurgeon missed two. ... Zuccarello will miss his fourth straight game but the forward is probable for Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round.
