Shabanov is expected to be a healthy scratch on Monday vs. the Rangers.

With Simon Holmstrom returning from an illness, Shabanov will be the odd-man out of the lineup as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Shabanov has 15 points (4G / 11A) in 38 games in his first NHL season, but has been held off the scoresheet in eight consecutive games.

Maxim Tsyplakov will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Shabanov to re-enter the lineup. The 25-year-old Shabanov, a first-year NHLer, has 10 points (3G / 7A) in 23 games this season, but has just one assist in his last seven despite seeing a sizable increase in deployment over that time.
