Status report

Ostlund didn’t practice Friday but is expected to play.

Clarke practiced Friday after leaving in the second period of a 6-5 overtime win against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday following an elbow to the head from forward Hayden Hodgson, who received a major penalty for boarding and game misconduct.

Kempe and Kuemper each did not practice Friday for maintenance, but each is expected to play.
