Status report
Thomas skated Wednesday and the forward accompanied the Blues on the trip, but will miss his 10th straight game. ... Kapanen will return after being a healthy scratch for a 3-2 loss to the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. ... Loof, a defenseman, was recalled from Springfield of the American Hockey League on Wednesday. … Thompson, a center, and Luukkonen, a goalie, will not play; Thompson did not participate in the Sabres optional morning skate Thursday and Luukkonen took a few shots but left the ice before the skate began. Each is day to day and “doing well,” according to coach Lindy Ruff. ... Samuelsson, a defenseman, will be out "weeks," Ruff said Wednesday.
