Status report

Smith will enter the lineup for Bichsel, a defenseman. ... Pionk is week to week; the defenseman, who had been trying to play through his injury, had not missed a game this season and played 16:18 in a 2-1 win against the New York Rangers on Tuesday. ... Schenn will move up to partner with Samberg, and Miller will come into the lineup on the third pair. … Ehlers said he will play after missing practice the past two days with an undisclosed injury.
