The Rangers are finally starting to get healthy, per the notes from practice yesterday. To summarize:

  • Pavel Buchnevich and Rick Nash will return to the lineup tonight. With Nicklas Jensen already sent down, one of Matt Puempel, Brandon Pirri, or Marek Hrivik will sit so both can play (unless Jesper Fast can’t play).
  • Fast has the flu. AV wasn’t 100% he will be good to go tonight.
  • Mika Zibanejad was skating in full yesterday. He will not play this weekend, and will practice again in full on Monday. Alain Vigneault hinted that it’s a matter of getting Zibanejad back in game shape.
  • Marc Staal is likely not playing this weekend. That likely means the same defense pairings tonight and tomorrow.
