Status report

The Senators did not hold a morning skate Friday following a 4-2 loss at the Dallas Stars on Thursday. … Forsberg could start after Merilainen made 21 saves Thursday. … Faulk is a game-time decision because of an upper-body injury, St. Louis coach Jim Montgomery said; Faulk took part in the Blues' optional morning skate Friday but if he can't play, Perunovich, a defenseman, will play with Tucker and Suter would move up and play with Broberg.
