Status report
Each team held an optional morning skate at Rogers Place. ... MacDermid will play after being a healthy scratch against the Calgary Flames on Friday. He'll replace Bastian, a forward who left that game during the first period. ... McDavid took part in Edmonton's optional morning skate but the forward remains out for potentially another week. ... Stecher, who was scratched against the Flames on Sunday, will re-enter the lineup in an ongoing rotation on defense, with Dermott sitting out Monday. ... Ryan, also scratched Sunday, will play with Caggiula, a forward, coming out. ... Pickard is expected to start after Skinner made 29 saves in a 4-2 win Sunday.
