Status report
Tsyplakov replaces Shabanov, a forward, in the Islanders lineup after being scratched for three straight and 14 of the past 18 games. … The Canucks called up Nils Pettersson from Abbotsford of the American Hockey League on Sunday and sent defenseman Victor Mancini to the AHL. ... Patera was recalled from Abbotsford on an emergency basis with Demko still being evaluated and the goalie set to miss a fourth straight game. Goalie Nikita Tolopilo was sent to the AHL. ... Lankinen will start after being unavailable for a 6-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday because of an illness. … Blueger, who last played Oct. 19, practiced in Raty's spot Sunday but coach Adam Foote did not think the forward would play Monday.
