Status report
Shesterkin briefly left the ice after taking a shot up high during the morning skate but was able to return. He will back up Quick as planned. … Mancini was recalled from Hartford of the American Hockey League and will play in place of the injured Jones, and Schneider will move from the right side to the left … Nurse is expected to return after missing three games with a head injury. … Bouchard sat out the morning skate with an undisclosed ailment and will be a game-time decision. “Evan is 50-50. We’ll see how he’s doing before the game,” Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. “We’re optimistic that he can play.” … Kapanen will move to the top line with Hyman, a forward, unavailable.
