Defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson remains sidelined with a bruised shoulder.
“He’s not quite there yet,” coach Dave Tippett said. “He’s skating and shooting and stuff, but we’ll make sure he’s good and ready to go before he can play.”
Goalie Mike Smith will make his first home start since returning from having surgery on a core muscle injury.
“It’s always nice to play in front of your home fans,” Smith said.
