Status report
Neither team held a morning skate Tuesday morning after playing Monday. ... Gustavsson will start for the first time since March 19 after Forsberg made 25 saves in a 4-2 loss at the Seattle Kraken on Monday. ... Halak will start after Demko made 28 saves in a 6-2 win against the Dallas Stars on Monday. … Chiasson will be a game-time decision after the forward was a late scratch Monday; if he plays, he will be on right wing with Miller and the top power play unit, with Garland moving to the top line in place of Dickinson, who would drop into Petan's spot on the fourth line.
