Status report
Sissons, a forward, and Hutton, a defenseman, did not skate Saturday with the Golden Knights due to illness and will be game-time decisions. Smith would enter for Sissons, and Megna would replace Hutton. … Hart, who did not dress for a 3-0 victory against the New Jersey Devils on Friday, may start pending an evaluation before the game. … The Rangers held an optional morning skate after their 3-2 overtime loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. Quick, who returned from a lower-body injury as the backup, may make his first start since a 3-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth on Nov. 22. … Chmelar, a defenseman, was recalled from Hartford of the American Hockey League, and New York assigned forward Brennan Othmann to Hartford.
