Status report
Grubauer starts for the second straight game after Daccord started the previous two. … Kuzmenko returns after missing one game because he took a Miller slap shot to the chin during the third period of a 4-3 overtime win against the New York Islanders on Wednesday. He wore a protective shield to cover his stitched-up and badly bruised chin during the morning skate. … Hirose will play for the first time since he was recalled from Abbotsford of the American Hockey League on Tuesday following the injury to Soucy, a defenseman.
