Status report
Utah did not hold a morning skate following an 8-0 loss at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. … Utah recalled Villalta from Tucson of the American Hockey League on Friday. ... Goalie Jaxson Stauber was reassigned to Tucson. ... Marchand, who has played all 1,090 of his NHL regular-season games with the Boston Bruins, is expected to make his Panthers debut; he was acquired in a trade March 7 and had been out since March 1 with an upper-body injury. … Kulikov, a defenseman, is expected to start skating next week and could return to the lineup before the end of the regular season, Florida coach Paul Maurice said.
