Status report
Neither team held a morning skate Saturday. ... Tkachuk continued to skate at Senators practice on Friday, but the forward remained in a non-contact jersey. ... Dickinson could be a healthy scratch; coach Ryan Warsofsky said Sharks will manage the defenseman's time ahead of a game against the Boston Bruins on Sunday. ... If Dickinson does not play, Mukhamadullin would return to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for a 4-3 shootout win against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday.
