Colorado head coach Jared Bednar said he is hopeful that Manson will return to the lineup after the Christmas break.
Colorado head coach Jared Bednar said Drouin is making improvements but still has no timeline for his return.
Panarin has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but will return for Friday's game against the Dallas Stars. The Rangers have failed to score more than three goals in five straight (1-4-0) and can ill-afford to be without Panarin's team-leading 36 points (15G / 21A) in 29 games.
Duclair has not played since suffering a lower-body injury in mid-October but could return to the lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 30-year-old Duclair was signed in the offseason to add an offensive punch to a typically low-scoring Islanders club and was off to a solid start before his injury, with three points (2G / 1A) in five games.
