Status report
Simmonds is expected to return; he missed a 5-2 loss at the Calgary Flames on Thursday to be with his wife for the birth of their child. ... Kase practiced Friday after leaving in the first period Thursday because of a hit by Flames defenseman Nikita Zadorov; he will be reevaluated closer to game time. ... Hamonic, a defenseman who has missed 21 games, will be a game-time decision after returning to practice this week; Juulsen is likely to come out of the lineup if Hamonic plays. ... Dickinson returns after missing one game with an undisclosed injury. …Highmore, a forward, is eligible to come out of COVID-19 protocol and likely would likely replace Chiasson if he plays.
