Status report

Fox, a defenseman, and Shesterkin, a goalie, each skated before practice Friday but neither is expected to play Saturday. ... Vaakanainen, who had been scratched the previous four games, is expected to replace Soucy; the defenseman will not play because of personal reasons. ... Mackey was recalled from Hartford of the American Hockey League on Friday but it's unlikely the defenseman will play. ... Kolosov will make his second start of the season; he was recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League on Thursday and made 16 saves in relief of Ersson in a 6-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins that night. ... Brink skated Saturday before the game and coach Rick Tocchet said the forward could play at the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. ... Vladar is day to day; Tocchet said the goalie could travel with the team on its three-game road trip, which starts at Vegas on Monday. ... Ristolainen will not be on the road trip; Tocchet said the defenseman could be out at least another week.
