Current odds:

New York Rangers: (TBD)

Florida Panthers: (TBD)

 

• Forwards Mats Zuccarello (groin) and Vladislav Namestnikov (concussion), who missed the last five and three games, respectively, skated through a full practice Thursday and could play on the trip. Quinn told NHL.com about the scratch of defenseman Brady Skjei on Sunday: “It’s not a punishment, it’s more about just take a breath and let’s get back at it.” Center Mika Zibanejad boasts six of his team-best 25 points in the last four games and Chris Kreider scored two of his team-high 14 goals in the same span.

• Forward Jonathan Huberdeau (298 career points) was kept off the scoresheet Thursday, falling one game short of Pavel Bure’s franchise record of seven straight multi-point contests. Evgenii Dadonov saw his four-game goal streak come to an end and owns 27 points – four shy of team leader Huberdeau – and one better than fellow forward Mike Hoffman. Huberdeau, Dadonov, Hoffman and captain Aleksander Barkov all posted a minus-3 rating in Thursday’s loss while Ekblad scored for the sixth time in 13 games.

• Florida D Keith Yandle owns five assists in his last five games and is second on the team behind Huberdeau (24) with 21 overall.
