Status report
Eichel, who has missed 16 games, wore a non-contact jersey at the morning skate but coach Bruce Cassidy said the center needs to get through a full practice before a return to the lineup is considered. ... Hill will make his seventh start in nine games. ... Liljegren, a defenseman, remains day to day after being injured in a 4-3 win at the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. ... Giordano will return after missing five games because of the death of his father. ... Samsonov will start for the 11th time in 14 games.
