Injured: Emil Andrae (mid-body), Cam York (upper body), Samuel Ersson (lower body), Jamie Drysdale (upper body)
Status report
- Konecny had a maintenance day and did not practice Friday but likely will play Saturday. Coach John Tortorella said there were questions about his lineup because of the health of several players.
- York skated with his regular partner, Sanheim, and took part in power-play drills during practice Friday. The defenseman has missed the past 13 games and would have to be activated from injured reserve.
- Drysdale practiced in a regular jersey, rather than the noncontact jersey the defenseman had been wearing during recent practices.
- Frost is expected to play after being scratched the past three games. He could replace Laughton, a forward who played a season-low 8:25 during a 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday.
