Status report
Kuzmenko, a forward who was benched in the third period of a 5-1 win at the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday, will be a healthy scratch and replaced by Malott. ... Matthews will be out a week, coach Craig Berube said, but added the center could potentially return sooner. ... Akhtyamov was recalled from Toronto of the American Hockey League on Thursday and will back up Hildeby; Stolarz, a goalie, is day to day. ... Laughton, a forward, was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Saturday.
