Status report
The Red Wings held an optional morning skate. … Oleksiak, a defenseman, is expected to be a healthy scratch for the first time since he was selected by the Kraken from the Dallas Stars in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft. Seattle coach Lane Lambert said it will be “a game-time decision, so really there’s no reason talking about it right now.” Mahura would be expected to replace Oleksiak; it would be the defenseman’s first game since a 6-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Nov. 5.
