Jensen, 26, has impressed the Red Wings since being called up in mid-December. The American-born defenseman has three goals and five assists (eight points) in 27 games with the Red Wings after he had six points (1G / 5A) in 27 games with the Griffins. He is a really strong skater and should be part as the Red Wings’ top-6 next season.
Brossoit allowed one goal on five shots after replacing Cam Talbot in the Oilers’ loss to the Blackhawks on February 11th. Brossoit has made three NHL appearances this season, stopping 57 of 62 shots (.919 SV%). He’ll give Cam Talbot the night off and start the first game of their back-to-back against a Lightning team that is 4-0-2 in their last six.

Vatrano was recalled from his conditioning stint in Providence after scoring two goals in two games, but he will not make his season debut tonight. Vatrano will sit out for another game, so expect Anton Blidh to remain in the lineup.

The 22-year-old has eight goals and three assists (11 points) in 39 career NHL games (all in 2015-16). Expect him to be in the lineup on Tuesday.
Jensen, 26, has been recalled to serve as an extra defenseman during the Red Wings’ three- game road trip. The 2009 fifth round pick has one goal and five assists (six points) in 27 games with the Griffins. Don’t expect him to make his NHL debut unless one of the Red Wings’ regular defensemen gets injured.
Vatrano shed his no-contact sweater and was a full participant in Sunday’s practice, but stayed in Boston while the team left for a brief two-game road-trip. Vatrano has yet to play this season after tearing ligaments in his foot during the preseason. Vatrano is nearing a return, but it won’t come until Thursday at the earliest and even that seems unlikely.
Kreider will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Saturday in Calgary. With Kreider out, Michael Grabner will skate in the Rangers’ top-6.
Greer, 19, made his NHL debut on Sunday, recording two shots in 16:34 TOI. The former second round pick (39th overall in 2015) heads back to San Antonio, where he has 14 points (5G / 9A) in 13 games.
Kreider has missed the last four games with a neck strain, but returns to the lineup tonight vs. the Blues. Kreider had a good start to the year, picking up seven points (3G / 4A) in five games. Kreider will be back on a line with Mika Zibanejad at centre and Mats Zuccarello will be on the right wing. Kreider is averaging 3:07 on the power-play and is second among Rangers’ forwards with 13:52 at even strength.

Kreider will miss his fourth consecutive game with a neck strain, but he could be back on Tuesday. It is good news that his injury is not going to keep him out much longer, but the Rangers will take on the Lightning without Kreider.
Kreider has missed the last two games and will miss both games this weekend with a neck strain. Kreider’s injury isn’t believed to be serious, so he could be back in the lineup early next week—maybe Tuesday vs. the Blues.
Kreider is dealing with a neck strain and will miss his second straight game on Wednesday. Monitor his status leading up to Friday’s game vs. the Hurricanes.
Kreider missed Tuesday’s practice and is not expected to be in the lineup on Wednesday. If Kreider doesn’t play, expect J.T. Miller to remain in the Rangers’ top-6. Monitor Kreider’s status during the morning skate, just to be sure he is not available.
