The Rangers are eliminated from playoff contention and only have three games remaining, so Trouba will sit out for the remainder. Trouba, who has been out since April 20th, finishes the season with 12 points (2G / 10A) in 38 games.

Kreider was absent from the Rangers' morning skate and will be a game-time decision on Thursday. If Kreider can't play, look for Vitali Kravtsov to move up to the third line.

Mrazek was originally scheduled to start Thursday against the Panthers but is dealing with a lower-body injury so Alex Nedeljkovic will start for the second straight game.

Trouba was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Islanders in the first period and is not expected to play Thursday vs. the Flyers. Zac Jones could make his NHL debut to replace Trouba.
