Soucy replaces Andrae and Talbot will start the second of a back to back for the Blue Jackets. … Kaprizov (illness) did not practice Saturday but is expected to play. … Spurgeon, a defenseman, was placed on injured reserve Sunday, when the Wild recalled Haight, a forward, and Lambos, a defenseman, from Iowa of the American Hockey League. ... Nick Foligno is skating on his own but the forward did not practice with the team. ... Sturm is doing well and the forward in concussion protocol.
