Panarin has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but is expected to play Thursday in Philadelphia. Panarin, who is expected to skate with Ryan Strome and Kaapo Kakko, leads the Rangers with 15 points (5G / 10A) in 12 games this season.

Panarin continues to deal with what the Rangers are calling a short-term lower-body injury but it will keep him sidelined again on Tuesday. The Rangers should stick with the same lineup up front and Panarin should be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.

Panarin was banged up on Wednesday and will miss Friday's game with a lower-body injury, which the Rangers are calling a "day-to-day" thing. Alexis Lafreniere will move up the Rangers' depth chart to play with Ryan Strome and Kaapo Kakko.

Panarin didn't play much in the third period or overtime during Wednesday's loss to the Bruins and is questionable to play in the rematch on Friday. Head coach David Quinn didn't sound overly concerned about the injury, calling it "a little bit of a lower-body injury," so it seems like there's a decent chance he suits up on Friday.

Doughty was forced to leave Tuesday's game vs. the Sharks after being hit in the chest by a Brent Burns shot. Doughty missed Wednesday's practice and the Kings called him day-to-day. They added that they hope he'll be back on the ice on Thursday, so there seems like a chance that he'll play in the rematch vs. the Sharks.

Armia was on the ice for the Canadiens morning skate and left with the rest of the regulars. which is a good sign that he'll be available tonight vs. the Maple Leafs. The Canadiens would not commit to him playing, so consider him a game-time decision. The way Montreal has been rolling, it's difficult to project who he would replace.

Foegele has been on the COVID-19 reserve list and has not played since January 18th. Foegele should reclaim a spot in the Hurricanes' bottom-6 and is still searching for his first point of the season.

Kuemper made 14 saves on 16 shots in the Coyotes win over the Ducks last Thursday. It was a light night for Kuemper, who has given up two or less goals in four straight games and carries a 2.44 GAA and .910 SV% into Tuesday's game in St. Louis. The Blues have won three straight games and are averaging 3.44 goals per game, which ranks ninth in the NHL.

Foegele was activated on Friday and was on the ice for an optional practice, suggesting that he could be available for Saturday's home game vs. the Stars. Foegele, who has yet to record a point in three games this season, will likely replace Steven Lorentz and skate on the third line with Jordan Staal if he's made available.

Fiala was assessed a game misconduct for the first period hit and was suspended for three games on Friday. This means that the Wild will be without one of their top offensive weapons for the first three games of their four-game set with the Avalanche--he's eligible to return for the finale next Friday.

The Penguins defence continues to be decimated by injuries with Dumoulin joining Michael Matheson, Marcus Pettersson and Juuso Riikola on the injury report. With Dumoulin out, Pierre-Olivier Joseph is expected to be on the top-pair with Kris Letang.
