Status report
The Maple Leafs did not hold a morning skate following a 5-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Friday. … Pittsburgh will be without its top three centers. Crosby and Malkin have not played this season and Carter will be sidelined for the first time after entering NHL COVID-19 protocol Thursday. … Letang, usually on the Penguins' top defense pair, will not play after entering COVID-19 protocol Saturday. Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said he anticipates a player being recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League to fill the hole left by Letang. … Jarry will start after he was removed from COVID-19 protocol and returned to practice Friday.
