Status report
Reaves will play after being scratched the previous two games. He’ll replace Robertson, a forward. … McCabe was placed on injured reserve Monday, retroactive to Sunday; coach Craig Berube said there was no timeline for the defenseman to return. “He needs to get back on the ice, and then we’ll go from there,” Berube said. “I think that’s probably the best way I can put it. And I’m not sure when that is.” … Rifai, a defenseman, was recalled from Toronto of the American Hockey League on Monday but will not play. … Ersson skated before practice but the goalie will miss his third straight game.
