Status report
Each team had an optional morning skate. … McCann, a forward, and Evans, a defenseman, skated separately from the team and neither is expected to play. Evans has not played this season after he was injured in training camp. It was McCann's first time on the ice since a 4-3 win at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 18.
