--D James Wisniewski, who played only 5:12 in Thursday night's 4-3 overtime victory over visiting Tampa Bay before leaving because of a bruised foot, was back in the lineup. Wisniewski scored his first goal of the season while skating 24:52.
--D Steve Eminger returned to the lineup after missing Thursday night's 4-3 overtime victory over visiting Tampa Bay because of back spasms.
--RW Corey Perry picked up an assist to extend his career-high scoring streak to 14 games. Perry has nine goals and 20 points during the run, which is the longest in the NHL since then-Boston RW Phil Kessel enjoyed an 18-game streak in November and December of last year.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--RW Joffrey Lupul sat out a Nov. 21 game against visiting San Jose, the first he has missed this season, because of back spasms. Lupul also experienced back spasms during training camp.
--C Ryan Carter, who has missed the past five games, has been diagnosed with a broken bone in his right foot and is expected to be sidelined until late December. An additional X-ray, taken when the injury did not show any improvement, revealed the fracture, which resulted from a shot that struck Carter during a Nov. 12 practice in Columbus.
