Status report
Jarry starting in goal may not be the only change for the Penguins following a 5-1 win against the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday; coach Dan Muse would not announce any more following Pittsburgh's morning skate Thursday. … Panthers coach Paul Maurice said Gregor, a forward, and Sebrango, a defenseman, each is waiting to receive his United States work visa before playing for Florida; Gregor signed a one-year contract Oct. 7 and Sebrango was claimed off waivers from the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 15.
