PREGAME NOTES

 - Danton Heinen (undisclosed) is "day to day ... not an option tonight," said Jim Montgomery.

 - Auston Matthews is not available again, per coach Sheldon Keefe.

“It’s the nature of the game, the sport,” team captain John Tavares told reporters. “Guys responded really well last game. We gotta play together as a group, everyone stepping up and doing more.

“Not one guy trying to fill his shoes.”
