Status report
Copp is a game-time decision because of a lower-body injury. Coach Derek Lalonde said he would consider using 11 forwards and seven defensemen if Copp is not available. … Rittich is expected to make his first start in four games. … Clarke, a defenseman who was the No. 8 pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, was recalled from Ontario of the American Hockey League on Wednesday. He is not expected to play.
