Status report

Each team held an optional morning skate at Rogers Place. … MacDermid will play after being a healthy scratch against the Calgary Flames on Friday. He’ll replace Bastian, a forward who left that game during the first period. … McDavid took part in Edmonton’s optional morning skate but the forward remains out for potentially another week. … Stecher, who was scratched against the Flames on Sunday, will re-enter the lineup in an ongoing rotation on defense, with Dermott sitting out Monday. … Ryan, also scratched Sunday, will play with Caggiula, a forward, coming out. … Pickard is expected to start after Skinner made 29 saves in a 4-2 win Sunday.
