Status report
Mitchell was recalled from Bridgeport of the American Hockey League on Thursday in order to have an extra defenseman in case of injury during the final four games of a five-game road trip, coach Patrick Roy said. … Romanov, who has missed eight of the past nine games, skated in a non-contact jersey Thursday. The defenseman is day to day and could return during this road trip. … Joshua will make his season debut after being diagnosed with testicular cancer in the summer and undergoing surgery.
