Status report
Gostisbehere, a defenseman, will serve the second of a two-game suspension from the NHL Department of Player Safety for boarding Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Mark Friedman on Tuesday. … Anderson will make his second start of the season and first since Feb. 21. … Ovechkin took part in an optional morning skate but the forward will not play for the seventh time in eight games; he played one 39-second shift in the first period of a 6-3 win at the New York Rangers on Monday. ... Schultz, who has missed the past three games, skated Saturday and coach Peter Laviolette said the defenseman could play.
