Status report
Neither team held a morning skate Saturday. ... Greig is out for the remainder of the regular season after the forward was injured in a 7-2 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. ... Chychrun, a defenseman, will be out a 'couple weeks,' according to coach D.J. Smith. ... Holden will be in the lineup after being a healthy scratch the past five games. ... Kleven, a defenseman who signed a three-year, entry-level contract Friday after three seasons with the University of North Dakota, was on the ice with a skills coach Saturday and could play soon.
