Status report
Hamonic is expected to replace Gustafsson, a defenseman, after being a healthy scratch for a 5-0 loss to the Avalanche on Saturday. … Toews will return after he missed 13 games because of an upper-body iniury. … Necas, a forward, won’t play but could be available against the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday. He is day to day. … Landeskog, a forward, participated in morning skate in a noncontact jersey. He won’t play and is also unlikely to play Wednesday.
