Status report
Neither team held a morning skate. ... Laine is day to day with an upper-body injury sustained late in a 3-1 loss to the Calgary Flames on Friday on a hit from Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson. ... Merzlikins is expected to start after missing the two games with an illness. ... Spurgeon and Boldy are each skating on their own and remain week to week.
