Status report
Provorov left during the second period of the Blue Jackets' 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Friday because of an apparent thumb injury sustained when he used his hand to brace himself after getting tripped into the boards by Canucks forward Elias Pettersson. If Provorov is unable to play, defenseman Jack Johnson would replace him. … Comrie will play for the first time since Nov. 29 after Hellebuyck made 12 saves in a 4-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. … Other than the goalie change, Winnipeg is expected to dress the same lineup it used Saturday.
