Status report
Hildeby is expected to start for the Lightning in the opener of a back-to-back that continues at the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday. … The Wild did not hold a morning skate following a 4-1 win against the San Jose Sharks on Friday. Pickard is expected to start after Wallstedt made 23 saves. … Forwards Marcus Foligno (14 games missed) and Nick Foligno (15 games missed) could possibly return for Minnesota, which reassigned forward Mason Shaw to Iowa of the American Hockey League. … McCarron is questionable after he left in the third period Friday with an undisclosed injury.
