Status report
Anderson, a forward, did not play in a 3-2 win for the Canadiens against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday because of family reasons. … Dobes will likely start after Montembeault made 21 saves on Saturday. … The Predators held an optional morning skate; they could play 11 forwards and seven defensemen, with Stastney returning from an upper-body injury. ... Wood will make his NHL debut; he signed an entry-level contract with Nashville on March 29 after completing his college season at the University of Minnesota.
