Scratched: Alexander Holtz, Ilya Samsonov

Injured: Brayden McNabb (undisclosed), Alex Pietrangelo (undisclosed), Brandon Saad (undisclosed), Mark Stone (undisclosed)

Status report

Stone will be a game-time decision; if the forward plays, the lines would shuffle with Schwindt scratched. … Defensemen Pietrangelo and McNabb are also game-time decisions; if each plays, Pietrangelo likely will pair with Hague, McNabb will join Theodore and Hutton and Korczak will not play.
