Status report

  • McDavid will be a game-time decision; the center missed practice the past two days after he was injured during a 4-2 win at the Calgary Flames on Saturday. 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.
