If McDavid does not play, Nugent-Hopkins would move to the top line, centered by Draisaitl, and Henrique would move from left wing to center the second line.
- Holloway was recalled from Bakersfield of the American Hockey League on Tuesday.
- Skinner will alternate starts with Pickard for the seventh straight game.
