It's unclear when Trocheck got hurt but he was not on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and will not play vs. the Predators. Trocheck, who leads the Hurricanes in goals, will obviously be a huge loss and will likely lead to more playing time for Sebastian Aho and Jordan Staal. Look for Morgan Geekie to replace him in the lineup.

Quick was banged up on Saturday night and is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. With Quick out, Cal Petersen will start Monday with Troy Grosnick serving as the backup.

Soucy has been scratched for the last two games but will replace Brad Hunt in Monday's game vs. the Golden Knights. Soucy has five assists, 11 shots, 18 hits and 20 blocked shots in 17 games this season.



Shesterkin had to be helped off of the ice in the third period of the Rangers' win on Thursday but is not expected to miss a lengthy period of time. A mild groin strain was likely the best-case scenario for the young netminder, who will hand the keys to Alexandar Georgiev for at least a couple of days.







Soucy has been out since February 2nd but will play Monday in Anaheim. Soucy will replace Calen Addison and enters Monday with two assists, eight shots and a plus-4 rating in 11 games this season.


Panarin is reportedly taking a leave of absence from the Rangers after a "political hit piece against him from Russia alleging that he beat up an 18-year-old girl in Russia in 2011." The report goes on to say that "Retribution was feared after Panarin's Instagram post on 1/21 in support of opposition leader Alexi Navalny with caption "Freedom for Navalny." Panarin, who has family in Russia, has been outspoken against [Vladimir] Putin."



Panarin has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but is expected to play Thursday in Philadelphia. Panarin, who is expected to skate with Ryan Strome and Kaapo Kakko, leads the Rangers with 15 points (5G / 10A) in 12 games this season.
