Status report
Jeff Skinner will play after being scratched the past three games. … Kapanen, a forward, will be scratched. … Zucker is expected to return after missing six games because of a lower-body injury. … Greenway is a game-time decision after missing a 4-0 loss at the Florida Panthers on Saturday because of illness. … Kulich, who also did not play Saturday, was on the ice for the morning skate but the forward is not well enough to play.
