Status report

Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason said Monday several players are ill, so the lineup could be in flux. … Merzlikins will play for the first time since sustaining an upper-body injury Oct. 15 (four games). … The Oilers didn’t hold a morning skate after Calvin Pickard made 24 saves in a 3-2 overtime win at the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.
