Chabot missed Tuesday's game vs. the Blues and will miss at least the rest of this week with an undisclosed injury. Erik Brannstrom should remain on PP1 while Chabot is sidelined--he had two assists in the loss to St. Louis.


Fox missed the final three games before the All-Star break but was activated from IR on Wednesday, suggesting he'll play in the Rangers' next game. New York is off for the rest of this week, so look for him to play next Tuesday vs. the Bruins.




Ruhwedel will not be available for Tuesday's game vs. the Capitals, so look for Mark Friedman to draw into the lineup for the first time since January 8th.

Borgen will not be available for Tuesday's game in Boston, so Connor Carrick was called up to the taxi squad in case they need him.

Brannstrom missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but will play Monday vs. the Oilers. Prior to landing in protocol, Brannstrom had one assist while averaging 20:07 TOI/gm in his last six games.




Fox suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's loss in Columbus and will miss at least one week after landing on IR on Friday. This means Fox will be out until after the All-Star break. Nils Lundkvist has been recalled to the active roster.


Blidh was hurt vs. the Capitals last Thursday but will be back in the lineup on Wednesday. Blidh will replace Nick Foligno, who was hurt vs. the Ducks on Monday. Blidh, who will be back on the fourth line, has two goals and six assists (eight points) in 20 games.

The Canucks will get Miller back on Tuesday but will remain without Bo Horvat, Conor Garland, Thatcher Demko and Jaroslav Halak. Miller skated with Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser on the top line and top power-play unit in Tuesday's morning skate.

Brannstrom has started to come into his own in the last week, playing top-pair minutes with Thomas Chabot (21:28 ATOI). Landing in COVID-19 protocol means he'll likely miss all three games this week. Lassi Thomson was recalled to take his spot on the roster.
