Shawn Thornton did not participate in the morning skate because he�s sick, said Claude Julien. Thornton will be a game-time decision.

If Thornton is unavailable, Josh Hennessy will ride on the fourth line with Daniel Paille and Gregory Campbell. Carter Camper would center Jordan Caron and Benoit Pouliot.

Tim Thomas will be in goal.
