Status report
The teams each held optional morning skates. … Kucherov is questionable after the forward did not play in a 2-1 overtime loss at the Detroit Red Wings on Friday. ... Johansson is expected to start after Vasilevskiy made 29 saves at Detroit. ... Based on practice Friday, Mateychuk will pair with Werenski with Fabbro moving to the third pair alongside Christiansen. ... Voronkov and Johnson swapped lines, as did Jenner and Sillinger.
