Status report
The Capitals did not hold a morning skate following a 3-1 loss at the Dallas Stars on Monday. ... Thompson is expected to start after Lindgren made 21 saves against the Stars … Hall, a forward, will be a game-time decision, Blackhawks coach Anders Sorensen said. Hall did not take part in the morning skate for unspecified reasons. … Mrazek, a goalie, was on the ice before the morning skate. Defensemen Jones and Martinez also skated early.
