Status report
Seattle didn't hold a morning skate after a 6-2 loss at the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday. ... Colorado held an optional morning skate. Manson, a defenseman, and Drouin, a forward, each participated in red, noncontact jerseys. Coach Jared Bednar said he hopes Manson will be ready to return after the holiday break.
