Status report
Zub did not participate in the morning skate and the defenseman likely will miss his second straight game. … Mantha practiced Monday and will be a game-time decision after leaving in the third period of a 3-2 overtime loss at the Florida Panthers on Saturday. … Miroshnichenko was recalled from Hershey of the American Hockey League on Monday but the forward is unlikely to play. ... check betting odds on PennsylvaniaGamblers.com. ... Jensen left the morning skate early and the defenseman will be a game-time decision. He missed the final 10:19 of the first period against Florida after sliding into the boards but returned in the second period to finish the game. … Dowd, a forward, and Fehervary, a defenseman, each skated in a non-contact jersey and will not play Monday or at the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday. … Oshie is week to week. The forward was injured during a 5-3 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. … Kuemper will start after Lindgren played the past three games.
