Status report
The Blue Jackets did not hold a morning skate after a 5-4 overtime loss at the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. Tarasov is expected to start after Merzlikins allowed five goals on 33 shots ... Patrik Laine, who has missed 17 games with a clavicle injury, entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program, the League announced Sunday. ... Dunn did not participate in morning skate Sunday. Kraken coach Dave Hakstol called it a "maintenance morning" but declined to say if the defenseman will be available. Dunn took a high hit from St. Louis Blues defenseman Matthew Kessel at 15:50 of the third period of a 4-3 overtime loss Saturday but remained in the game. If Dunn is not available, Evans will take his spot on the top defense pairi with Larsson.
