Zacha was on the ice for the morning skate but was unable to finish the session, making him questionable to play Thursday. If Zacha can't play, look for Michael McLeod to draw back into the lineup.
Stralman has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but is expected to play Saturday vs. the Blackhawks. Stralman, who has two goals and six assists (eight points) in 22 games this season, will be back on a pair with Keith Yandle.
Mitchell, who was a healthy scratch for the last two games, will replace Nicolas Beaudin in the lineup on Saturday. Mitchell has four points (2G / 2A), 19 shots and a minus-6 rating in 26 games this season.
Rask was not on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and will not dress vs. the Rangers. Dan Vladar will be Jaroslav Halak's backup and Rask should be considered day-to-day.
Lindholm had previously missed time with a lower-body injury before fracturing his wrist in his return to the lineup last Saturday. With Lindholm out for at least six weeks, he could return for the final month of the season.
Krejci has been out since February 18th but is execute to play Wednesday vs. Washington. Krejci, who has yet to score but has 10 assists in 15 games this season. He'll centre the second line with Nick Ritchie and Jake DeBrusk and see PP2 usage.
