Status report

Ekholm did not participate in the morning skate and will be a game-time decision; if he is unavailable, Stastney would replace him on defense. … Henrique, a forward, is also a game-time decision; Samanski was recalled from Bakersfield of the American Hockey League under emergency conditions Sunday and would play if Henrique is unavailable. … Howden will return after missing 21 games with an upper-body injury. He will replace Smith at forward.
