Status report
Neither team had a morning skate Saturday. ... Talbot will start after Kahkonen allowed nine goals on 38 shots in a 9-1 loss at the Blues on Friday. ... Thomas, a forward, will not play after being injured in the third period Friday. St. Louis coach Craig Berube said the forward is "probably going to be out for a certain amount of time. I'm not sure yet." ... Thomas was replaced by Hoffman. ... Binnington could start in back-to-back games; he made 24 saves Friday.
