Trocheck has missed the last eight games with an upper-body injury but could return to the lineup on Tuesday. Trocheck has skated between Andrei Svechnikov and Jesper Fast for the last two days, so all signs are pointing towards him playing in Chicago.








Soucy was suspended for one game for his hit on Conor Garland on Tuesday and will not be available for Thursday's game in Colorado. With Soucy out, Brad Hunt will likely draw into the lineup.



Gavrikov was scratched on Thursday due to personal reasons but will be back in the lineup on Saturday vs. the Stars. Gavrikov has collected one goal and five assists (six points) in 27 games so far this season.

Trocheck will miss at least two more games with an upper-body injury that popped up on Thursday. With Trocheck out, Morgan Geekie will remain in the Hurricanes' bottom-6 and PP2.

After an extended leave of absence, the Rangers are expected to get their top forward back on Saturday afternoon. Panarin, who had five goals and 13 assists (18 points) before leaving the team, will be reunited on a line with Ryan Strome.
