Status report
Each team held an optional morning skate Wednesday, and each is expected to dress the same 18 skaters from its previous game, the Panthers in a 4-1 win against the New York Islanders on Sunday and the Mammoth in a 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. … Coach Andre Tourigny said Utah will “tweak the lines a little bit.”
