Vatrano (personal) missed practice on Monday due to the expected birth of his child.

Vatrano did not play on Friday due to the birth of his child, but returned to action on Sunday against the Los Angeles Kings. Given that he played on Sunday, his absence from practice on Monday likely does not have an impact on his status for Tuesday's game against the San Jose Sharks. The 30-year-old Vatrano is coming off a career-best season, scoring 60 points (27G / 23A) in 82 games. He has two points (0G / 2A) in four games so far this season.

The Rangers have acquired Frank Vatrano from the panthers for a 2022 fourth-round draft pick.

Vatrano has had a down year in Florida, scoring just 10 goals with nine assists (19 points) in 49 games. Vatrano has scored at a 23 goals per 82 game pace in his first three seasons with the team but is on a 17-goal pace this season. Vatrano should see more important ice time in New York than her did in Florida this year.

The Panthers have signed Frank Vatrano to a one-year deal worth $925K.

Vatrano split his 2018 season between the Bruins and Panthers. The 23-year-old had eight points (5G / 3A) in 16 games with Florida, finishing the year with 10 points (7G / 3A) in 41 games. Vatrano seemed to have found a nice home in Florida and should be a bottom-6 winger with them to start 2019.

Vatrano (lower-body) is expected to make his Panthers debut on Saturday.

Vatrano has been sidelined since February 6th with a lower-body injury, but it looks like he’ll play tonight vs. the Rangers. Vatrano appeared to have a bright future in Boston but was passed on the depth chart by players like Jake DeBrusk and Danton Heinen. He will make his Panthers debut with 20 goals and 11 assists (31 points) in 108 career NHL games.

Vatrano left Tuesday’s game with a lower-body injury; doubtful to play on Wednesday.

Vatrano recorded one shot in 4:53 TOI before leaving last night’s game in Detroit. Vatrano is listed as doubtful with a lower-body injury, but there was a good chance he came out anyways with Brad Marchand returning from a five-game suspension.
