Status report
Other than Koskinen, the Oilers are expected to use the same lineup as their 3-2 overtime win at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday, coach Dave Tippett said. … Toffoli, a forward, will miss his second straight game but should return "in the next few days," Canadiens coach Dominique Ducharme said. He and Chiarot, a defenseman, each were on the ice after the morning skate for the first time since their respective injuries. … Frolik will make his Montreal debut.
