Arniel said winger Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body) won’t make the trip.

Vilardi missed the last 11 regular-season games with an upper-body injury after having a strong campaign with 27 goals and 61 points in 71 games.

He was replaced by Alex Iafallo on the top line with left-winger Kyle Connor and centre Mark Schiefele.
