I’m still not sure what the lineup is going to be.” … Poehling skated before practice Sunday, but there is no timeline for the forward to return. … Zamula did not practice Sunday or Monday, and the defenseman could miss his second straight game. … Laughton is expected to play after missing three games for personal reasons. … Deslauriers skated on his own prior to the morning skate. The forward hasn’t played since Nov. 9.
