Status report
Sharks coach David Quinn said there will be some game-time decisions in the lineup made after warmups because of some players who are questionable. He was not specific as to who. … Labanc, a forward, did not skate on a regular line in practice Wednesday. … Carpenter is expected to return to the Rangers lineup after missing one game with an upper-body injury. … Kravtsov, a forward, has been cleared to play after missing three games with an upper-body injury he sustained in the season-opener on Oct. 11, but will be a healthy scratch. ... Dryden Hunt, a forward who played 76 games for the Rangers last season and three this season, was claimed off waivers by the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday.
