Status report
Kahkonen will make his first start in three games after Reimer started the previous two; otherwise, the Sharks will dress the same lineup they used in a 5-3 win against the Dallas Stars on Wednesday. … The Blue Jackets will dress the same lineup they used in a 5-3 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday, except Korpisalo will make his first start since Jan. 12, when he made 35 saves in a 6-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes; he missed the past four games for personal reasons.
