Status report
The Golden Knights held an optional morning skate. ... Vegas is expected to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. ... Schenn will miss his fourth straight game despite the forward practicing for the second consecutive day. ... Perron is expected to play after missing one game because of a lower-body injury. ... Scandella will not play after being injured in the third period of a 5-3 loss at the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday, but coach Craig Berube said he's hopeful the defenseman will be ready for Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round; Scandella has practiced the past two days.
