Status report
Barzal will make his season debut after recovering from left knee inflammation; Islanders coach Pete DeBoer was still determining the lineup following the morning skate and had not decided whether to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen or go with a traditional 12/6 configuration. ... Pageau will be a game-time decision; the forward missed a 5-2 win at the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday with an injury that occurred during the morning skate. ... Varlamov did not participate in the morning skate and likely will start. ... New York placed forward Kyle MacLean on non-roster waivers Saturday. ... The Ducks did not hold a morning skate. ... Terry moved up to the top line after making his season debut on the third line in a 4-2 loss to the Nashville Predators on Wednesday. ... Anaheim returned goalie Laurent Brossoit to San Diego of the American Hockey League on Friday.
