InjuryInjury
Vilardi (upper-body) is questionable to play Tuesday vs. Seattle.

Vilardi missed Sunday's game with an upper-body injury but was back on the ice for Monday's practice. Vilardi skated on the third line in Monday's session, which is a good sign that he'll be available vs. the Kraken. Head coach Todd McLellan would not commit to him playing, so monitor his status during Tuesday's morning skate.
