Status report
Gaudette, a forward, and the two goalies were the only Sharks players who took to the ice following a 3-1 loss at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday. … Nedeljkovic likely will start after Askarov made 29 saves against Toronto. … Engstrom will play after being a healthy scratch for a 4-3 overtime win against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday, with Reinbacher, a defenseman, coming out. ... Matheson took part in the Canadiens morning skate but the defenseman will miss his fourth straight game. …
