Status Report
Each team is on the second of a back to back and did not have morning skates. ... Greaves is expected to start for Columbus after Merzlikins made 15 saves in a 5-2 win against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. ... Sorokin, who was pulled after he allowed six goals on 32 shots in a 7-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, will likely start back-to-back games for the first time this season.
