Russell is dealing with an illness and will be a game-time decision for Saturday's match against the Oilers.

Analysis:

Russell is suffering from the flu and was unable to skate Saturday morning. The team will see if he can notice enough progress in his recovery over the afternoon to give it a go against the Oilers, but Tyler Wotherspoon would enter the lineup in the event the blueliner can't play.
