Status report
Marchment had a maintenance day and did not take part in the Stars' morning skate but is expected to play. … Eller, who missed the Capitals' 7-3 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday because of an upper-body injury, will be a game-time decision. If he is unable to play, it's expected that Aube-Kubel, a forward, will take his place.
