Status report
Nashville did not hold a morning skate after a 3-2 overtime win at the Calgary Flames on Tuesday. Forsberg left the game at 10:16 of the third period after colliding with a teammate and there was no update on his status. If Forsberg can't play, Grimaldi could take his place. ... Ingram is expected to get the start in the second game of a back to back ... Smith skated again but will not play. Oilers coach Dave Tippett said the goalie could return Friday against the New York Rangers.
