Reaves was hurt early in Monday's game vs. the Flames and did not return. Moving Reaves to IR means that the Rangers will not have to make a move to activate Kaapo Kakko, who is expected to return to the lineup on Friday.

Eklund was a healthy scratch in Boston on Sunday but will be back in the lineup in Nashville. Eklund, who has three assists in his first four NHL games, will skate on a line with Tomas Hertl and Kevin Labanc.






Kurashev will be replaced in the lineup by Dylan Strome. According to Jeremy Colliton he is scratching Kurashev because "he was one of our best forwards in camp and preseason. And we need him to get back to that level. Sometimes coming out is what you need to get refocused and back to the level you can play at.”


Liljegren was in the lineup on Saturday but will sit with Justin Holl (illness) returning to the lineup.

Kaut has picked up two assists in his first two AHL games this season and could make his season debut with Colorado on Tuesday. The Avalanche played with just 11 forwards on Saturday, so both Kaut and Mikhail Maltsev should draw in vs. the Capitals.
