Status report
Wilsby is considered day to day. The defenseman left a 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday during the second period because of injury. Blankenburg will replace him after being scratched the previous five games. … Svechkov will return to the lineup after being scratched the previous two games. He’ll play center with Haula moving to the wing and Jost, a forward, being scratched. … Ersson is considered day to day after the goalie “tweaked” something warming up for practice Wednesday, coach Rick Tocchet said. Kolosov will be called up from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League to back up Vladar. … Andrae will play after being recalled from the AHL on Tuesday. He’ll replace Zamula, a defenseman. … Dvorak skated briefly during an optional morning skate and will play after taking a maintenance day Wednesday.
