Status report
The Golden Knights did not hold a morning skate Saturday. … Hill was on the ice working with the healthy scratches, so Samsonov could get his second start of the season. … Gadjovich, a forward, will not play after leaving early in the first period of a 3-2 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday, which means the Panthers only have 17 healthy skaters (11 forwards, six defensemen. … Florida is already playing Balinskis, a defenseman, on its fourth forward line.
