Status report
Foegele, a forward, left practice early on Thursday, but coach Jim Hiller did not have an update afterward. “That’s never a good sign when you don’t finish practice,” Hiller said. … Helenius, a forward, returned to the lineup on Monday for the first time since Oct. 18 and played 3:25 in the 2-1 win against the Ottawa Senators. … Husso could make his season debut after Mrazek made 23 saves in a 5-4 loss to the visiting Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday. … Dostal, a goalie, is day-to-day after being unavailable against the Canucks.
