Status report
Neither team held a morning skate Saturday. ... Bertuzzi and Knies will swap spots based on the practice lines Friday, with Bertuzzi moving up to the second line. … Jones is expected to start for the 10th time in 11 games, with Samsonov likely to start at the Seattle Kraken on Sunday. ... The Canucks called up Karlsson, a forward, from Abbotsford of the American Hockey League on Friday, and he could replace Kuzmenko, who was benched for the third period of a 2-1 win against the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday; if Kuzmenko is scratched, Lafferty or Hoglander would likely moving up to the second line, with Karlsson playing on the fourth.
