No update on Matthew Tkachuk from Paul Maurice. He knows whether he's playing or not but won't divulge. He says if he plays «there would be no limit at the start of the game.»

Tkachuk's potential absence adds to the team's challenges, with forward Eetu Luostarinen already sidelined. In the event that Tkachuk cannot play, either Givani Smith or Grigori Denisenko could fill the lineup.
