He did not skate this morning and is not expected to skate tonight before the game.
He might try again Thursday against LA.
Steve Ott centered the second line at the skate today. We'll see if coach Marc Crawford sticks with that.
It doesn't really make sense to me, as Ott still is bothered by the oblique muscle and probably can't take faceoffs, but there could be some adjustment to the lines either before the game or as the game goes on.
It looked like he had this at the skate:
Morrow-Ribeiro-Benn
Neal-Ott-Eriksson
Sutherby-Wandell-Brunnstrom
Wathier-Petersen-Barch
I'm not sure what decision he'll make on Fistric, Woywitka or Niskanen for the defensemen if those are the lines he rolls out.
Defenseman James Wisniewski looks like he should be in for Anaheim.
