Chytil has been out since January 24th but skated on the third line in Monday's practice, suggesting that he'll be back Tuesday vs. Sabres. Chytil had a nice start to the season, scoring two goals with one assist in five games, so his return is crucial for the Rangers' bottom-6 to have success.
This isn’t overly surprising, since Chytil just returned to practice on Thursday. Monitor his status heading into Sunday’s game vs. the Bruins.
Chytil has been out since January 24th due to an upper-body injury, but was back on the ice for Thursday’s practice, suggesting that he could be back soon. Don’t expect to see him Friday vs. the Bruins but maybe Sunday.
DeBrusk has been out of the lineup since January 26t but will be back in the lineup on Wednesday. DeBrusk, who has one assist in six games this season, will be on the third line with Charlie Coyle as well as the second power-play unit.
DeBrusk has missed the last seven games with a lower-body issue but was back on a line with Charlie Coyle on Monday, so look for him to return to the lineup on Wednesday. DeBrusk had just one assist in six games this season.
DeBrusk was not available for Friday's practice and he is not expected to be ready to play Saturday in Washington. Luckily for the Bruins, it does appear that David Pastrnak will make his season debut, which will provide a massive boost to the Bruins offence.
DeBrusk only played 3:30 TOI in Tuesday's OT win before leaving the game and not returning. With DeBrusk already ruled out, Craig Smith skated on the Bruins' top line with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand in Wednesday's practice. The Bruins will be in tough without David Pastrnak, Ondrej Kase and DeBrusk.
Chytil was hurt on a blindside hit from Evan Rodrigues in Sunday's game in Pittsburgh and will miss at least one month with an upper-body injury. A one-month absence means that Chytil will miss at least the next 14 games and that Brett Howden should get increased usage starting on Tuesday.
Chytil was forced to leave Saturday's game in Pittsburgh after being hit by Evan Rodrigues. This is a tough break for Chytil, who has had a terrific start to the season, scoring two goals with one assist in his last four games. With Chytil out on Tuesday, Brett Howden will likely take on a larger role vs. the Sabres.
Rossi's seven-day quarantine after arriving from the World Juniors has ended but the Wild unexpectedly announced that he is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury without ever practicing with the team. Rossi was expected to start the season with the Wild and play the maximum six games before decided whether to keep him on the roster or send him back to Zurich (Swiss-A). Expect the Wild to provide another update after Rossi undergoes further testing.
Chytil left Tuesday's game in Dallas after playing 5:32 TOI and did not return. With Steven Fogarty being recalled from the AHL this morning, it suggests that he will replace Chytil tonight in Colorado.
Boeser has missed the last 12 games but was on the ice for the morning skate and will play tonight vs. the Islanders. Boeser will return on a line with Bo Horvat and Tanner Pearson and comes in with 16 goals and 29 assists (45 points) in 56 games this season.
Gallagher missed Thursday's game in Tampa Bay but will play tonight in Florida. Gallagher has scored three goals with three assists (six points) in his last six games.
Gallagher missed the morning skate with an illness and is a game-time decision tonight in Tampa Bay. The Canadiens are already without Tomas Tatar (upper-body) so they will dress seven defensemen if Gallagher can't play.
Hornek has missed the last four games but will play tonight vs. the Wild. Hronek is expected to be paired with Madison Bowey and should re-claim his spot on the top power-play unit. Hronek has just three assists in his last 14 games.
Hronek has missed the last four games but was on the ice for Wednesday's practice and could play Thursday. Hronek skated in a non-contact sweater and head coach Jeff Blashill has listed him as questionable for tomorrow's game vs. the Wild.
