Game Notes |
NYR -Igor Shesterkin (20-20-2, 2.93 GAA, .906 Sv%) will likely start for the Rangers -Star defenceman Adam Fox was recently placed on the IR. That will make New York's playoff push, currently 2 points behind Columbus for the final wild card position, a lot more difficult -JT Miller has 5 goals and 9 points in 8 games since being acquired by the Rangers. Miller missed practice on Thursday with an illness so his status for this game is in doubt |
TOR -Joseph Woll (20-11-0, 2.63 GAA, .910 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs -Toronto is expected to be without Chris Tanev for at least a little bit, but not as long as originally feared. Phillipe Myers will step back into the line-up -Max Pacioretty, who hasn't played since tweaking something at one of the first practices following the 4 Nations break, is expected to be cleared to play and best guess is he would take Steeves' spot in the line-up if that's the case |
