Status report
Neither team held a morning skate Friday after each played Thursday; the Wild won 6-5 in a shootout at the Detroit Red Wings and the Blue Jackets lost 6-0 at the New York Islanders. ... Kahkonen could start after Talbot allowed five goals on 34 shots Thursday. ... Merzlikins likely will start after Korpisalo allowed six goals on 33 shots Thursday. ... Danforth, a forward, left in the first period against the Islanders after blocking a shot; if he cannot play, he would be replaced by Bemstrom or Gaunce.
