Status report
Barzal and Maccelli are with the Islanders on their three-game trip, but the forwards wore noncontact jerseys at the morning skate. Pulock, a defenseman, wore a regular jersey but will not play. Coach Peter DeBoer said there is “potential” the three could return to the lineup at some point during the trip. … Wennberg is expected to play after missing 10 games with an upper-body injury. Forward Filip Bystedt was returned to San Jose of the American Hockey League on Monday. ... Chernyshov, a forward, skated on his own Monday and is still considered week to week.
