Status report
The Islanders did not hold a morning skate. Coach Barry Trotz said there will be lineup changes but did not reveal them. … Ovechkin, who missed a 6-3 win at the Islanders on Saturday, did not participate in the morning skate Tuesday; the forward is day to day. … Schultz remains day to day; the defenseman has missed the past two games.
