Jarvis and Kotkaniemi each is questionable; Jarvis left in the first period Friday after being struck in the face by Svechnikov’s stick and Kotkaniemi missed the third period with a leg injury. ... Nadeau, a forward, was recalled from Chicago of the AHL on Saturday and Gavin Bayreuther was reassigned there.
