Status report
Tucker, a defenseman, did not practice Friday after leaving in the third period of a 2-1 shootout loss at the Calgary Flames on Wednesday; if Tucker cannot play, Holl would be the likely replacement, but Kessel, a defenseman, also rotated in. … Blues coach Jim Montgomery said he might also make one change to the forwards but Walker, Berggren and Sundqvist skated together on a line during practice Friday and appear to be scratches for a second straight game. … Montgomery did not name a starting goalie but Binnington is expected to start after Hofer made 30 saves at Calgary. … Canucks coach Adam Foote would not reveal line changes or his goalie after practice Friday but did say that Hronek, who did not practice, is expected to play.
