Status report

Lyon, a goalie who has not played since Jan. 7, is on the trip and is expected to return soon, Red Wings coach Todd McLellan said Thursday. … Ekblad will miss his fourth straight game and fifth in the past six; the defenseman could return for the opener of a four-game road trip at the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday, Panthers coach Paul Maurice said. … Reinhart did not take part in the Florida morning skate Thursday but will play. … Tkachuk, normally a right wing, will start at left wing on the Panthers’ top line.
