Status report
Neither team will hold a morning skate. … Toropchenko, a forward, is questionable after missing practice Friday and a 4-2 win at the Calgary Flames on Saturday; he would likely replace Texier if he returns. … Binnington is expected to start after Hofer made 27 saves in Calgary. … Lankinen could make his first start of the season after Demko played the first two games, including making 34 saves in a 3-1 loss at the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. ... Mancini will make his season debut for Forbort, a defensemen who comes out of the lineup for "maintenance," according to coach Adam Foote.
