Lemieux missed the Kings' previous three games as a healthy scratch but will draw back into the lineup Thursday as the team takes on Boston. The 26-year-old has three assists, 15 SOG and 34 PIMs through 17 games so far this season.
Lemieux has three assists and 28 PIMs along with a -2 plus/minus through 15 games prior to the injury. He will be out week-to-week with a lower-body injury after he was placed on the injured reserve Sunday.
Lemieux will draw in on the fourth line with Viktor Arvidsson (illness) coming out of the lineup. Lemieux had 13 points (8G / 5A) in 50 games a season ago.
Lemieux has been out since March 4th but will be back in the Kings lineup vs. the Oilers. Lemieux, who is known more for his rugged style of play than his offence, has just three points (1G / 2A) in his last 22 games.
Lemieux left Friday's game in Columbus early in the first period and did not return. The lower-body injury kept him out of practice on Saturday and makes him questionable to play in Buffalo. Andreas Athanasiou will replace him on the fourth line if he can't play.
Lemieux was suspended for five games for biting Brady Tkachuk but will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Wild. Lemieux has four goals and one assist in 14 games this season.
Lemieux served his two-game suspension during Game 1 and 2 but is eligible to play in a must-win for the Rangers on Tuesday. Lemieux, who had 18 points (6G / 12A) in 59 games, is expected to replace Steven Fogarty in the lineup.
Lemieux was forced to leave Friday's game against Carolina with a fractured hand and he is expected to miss at least three weeks. With Lemieux out, Steven Fogarty is expected to draw into the lineup Saturday in Toronto.
Lemieux missed the Rangers game in San Jose on Thursday but is set to play in Anaheim this afternoon. Lemieux, who has been up and down the Rangers lineup all season, will play on the fourth line today. He has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 29 games.
Lemieux was dinged up Tuesday in Los Angeles and was not on the ice for Thursday's morning skate. The Rangers have officially listed him as a game-time decision in San Jose. Michael Haley is expected to replace Lemieux if he can't play.
