Status report
Brothers Jack Hughes, Luke Hughes and Quinn Hughes will play in the same NHL game for the first time. ...

Kuzmenko drops from the first to the second line, and Lafferty will move up from the fourth to the first. … Di Giuseppe, a forward who has played most of this season on the second line, will be a healthy scratch in favor of Karlsson, a rookie playing his third NHL game. … Demko is starting a fourth straight game for the third time this season.
