Status report
Quillan will make his NHL debut. … The Maple Leafs held an optional morning skate Saturday. … Pacioretty, a forward who will miss his third straight game, skated Saturday and is expected to participate fully in practice next week, coach Craig Berube said. … Stolarz, a goalie who will miss his 21st consecutive game, is on the trip and took the optional skate. ... Grebenkin, a forward, was recalled from Toronto of the American Hockey League. … Dewar, a center, was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Jan. 20; there is no timeline for his return, Berube said. … Hamonic will return after missing 10 games with a lower-body injury; Sanderson will play after missing a 2-0 loss to the Boston Bruins on Thursday because of a lower-body injury. … Jensen, a defenseman, will miss both games this weekend, but could return next week. ... Ullmark, a goalie who hasn’t played since Dec. 22 due to a tweaked back, was a full participant during the Senators morning skate Saturday and is “a lot closer than he was three days ago,” Ottawa coach Travis Green said.
