Status report
Mikheyev will make his season debut; he has not played since last season when he sustained a knee injury in January. … Coach Rick Tocchet altered the lines for the Canucks, with the top line the only one remaining intact from a 4-3 loss at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. … DeSmith will make his second start of the season. … Bobrovsky will start for the Panthers for the fifth consecutive game to begin the season. He has won his past two starts, allowing a total of four goals against the New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs. … Bennett could return from his preseason injury as early as Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks, Florida coach Paul Maurice said.
