Killorn was scratched for Tuesday’s game because of an undisclosed injury and is listed as day-to-day. The Lightning are back in action on Friday and head coach Jon Cooper is hoping that Killorn will be back in the lineup. Monitor his status during Friday’s morning skate.
Brossoit, 23, was a sixth round pick of the Flames in 2011 and tonight he will face the team that drafted him for the first time. Brossoit has gone 9-8-0 with a 2.67 GAA and .908 SV% in 21 games with Bakersfield (AHL) this season. Tonight will be his seventh career NHL start—he’s gone 0-5-1 with a 3.34 GAA and .896 SV% in the first six.
Vatrano, 22, appeared in 39 games with the Bruins last season, collecting eight goals with three assists (11 points). During his conditioning stint, Vatrano picked up two goals in two games with Providence. Vatrano will skate with Austin Czarnik and Riley Nash.
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.
Vatrano was on a conditioning stint with Providence over the weekend and scored a goal in both games. Vatrano had been sidelined with torn ligaments in his foot that he suffered in the preseason. 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 missed the last four games with a neck strain, but was a full-participant in Monday’s practice and should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Kreider had a great start to the season, picking up three goals and four assists (seven points) in five games.
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.
Kreider is day-to-day with a neck strain which will keep him out of the lineup vs. the Coyotes. Thankfully for the Rangers, Oscar Lindberg is set to return and take Kreider’s spot.
Vatrano was expected to push for a top-6 role in Boston following a strong rookie year in Providence (AHL) and Boston. Vatrano will undergo foot surgery on Monday and is expected to be out until late-December/early-January.
Kreider, 25, posted a career-high 46 points (21G / 25A) in 2014-15 and followed it up with a nearly identical season in 2016-16, posting 21 goals and 22 assists (43 points) in 79 games. Kreider will once again skate in the Rangers’ top-6 this season, with either Derek Stepan and Mika Zibanejad in the middle. Kreider could be in for a breakout season, which includes his first 25-goal, 50-point season.
Killorn, 26, had 40 points (14G / 26A) in 81 games last season. He has been a very consistent point producer in the lat three years, finishing with 41, 38 and 40 points each season. Those number are certainly serviceable for the Lightning, but aren’t quite good enough to land him firmly on the fantasy radar.
