Status report
Neither team will skate before the game. ... Oettinger is expected to start after DeSmith made 35 saves in a 5-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. ... Benn, a forward, traveled with the team and is possible to play after missing two straight games. ... Middleton, a defenseman sustained an upper-body injury in a 3-1 loss at the New York Islanders on Friday and is doubtful to play. ... Crotty, a defenseman, was recalled from Iowa of the American Hockey League on Saturday.
