Status report
The Canucks are expected to dress the same lineup they used in a 5-2 win against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. ... McDonough, who signed an entry-level contract Monday, took part in Vancouver's morning skate Thursday but the forward is not expected to play. … Demko will make his seventh start in eight games. ... Prosvetov will start for the second time this season; he made 39 saves in a 4-1 win against the Nashville Predators on March 9. ... Coyotes coach Andre Tourigny said Prosvetov is expected to remain with Arizona the rest of the season and not return to Tucson of the American Hockey League. … Nemeth will play after missing a 4-3 overtime win against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday because of a lower-body injury. ... Schmaltz will miss his third straight game and is day to day; the forward is not expected to play against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.
