New York has acquired Liam Greentree, and a conditional 3rd round pick from Los Angeles for Artemi Panarin (50% of salary retained).

Greentree was a key part of a trade that sent superstar Artemi Panarin from the New York Rangers to the Los Angeles Kings. The 20-year-old Greentree was drafted 26th overall by the Kings in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and has yet to play an NHL game. He is in his fourth season with the Windsor Spitfires (OHL), where he has 45 points (23G / 22A) through 34 games.

Korpisalo will start in Florida on Wednesday.

In their final game before the Olympic Break, the Bruins will turn to Korpisalo on Wednesday against the Florida Panthers. The 31-year-old Korpisalo allowed four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Rangers, but has been solid in recent weeks, posting a stellar 1.90 GAA and .931 SV% in his last six appearances (4-1-1). The Bruins enter Wednesday's contest as +136 road underdogs against a Panthers team on a four-game losing streak (0-4-0).

Laba (upper-body) is expected to return vs. Carolina on Thursday.

Laba was limited to only 2:34 time-on-ice in the Rangers' previous game, exiting with an upper-body injury. That said, he anticipates playing on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 22-year-old Laba has 16 points (6G / 10A) in 53 games this season.

Fox (undisclosed) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

Fox's return to practice on Wednesday is an indication that he is wrapping up his second stint on Long-Term Injured Reserve this season. Still, it is unclear whether he will play on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers in the team's final game before the Olympic Break. The 27-year-old Fox has had trouble staying healthy, but has been highly productive when in the lineup, scoring 28 points (4G / 24A) in 30 games.

Martin will start on Long Island on Wednesday.

The struggling Rangers are coming off a rare victory, 4-3 in overtime over the Boston Bruins. Still, they will revert from Jonathan Quick to Spencer Martin on Wednesday against the New York Islanders. The 30-year-old Martin played well in his previous outing, but did not receive ample goal support, saving 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%) in a 3-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks. The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as +115 road underdogs against the New York Islanders, who defeated them 2-0 last month.

Fox (undisclosed) returned to New York's practice in a non-contact sweater on Wednesday.

Adam Fox is in his second stint on Long-Term Injured Reserve this season, but appears to be nearing a return after practicing in a non-contact jersey on Wednesday. The 27-year-old Fox has had trouble staying healthy, but has been extremely productive when in the lineup, scoring 28 points (4G / 24A) in 30 games. Fox will not be eligible to be activated until the Rangers have two games left before the Olympic Break, and it is unclear whether he is targeting those games.

Korpisalo will start in New York on Monday.

Korpisalo has been excellent for the Bruins lately, and as such, he will return to the crease on Monday for his fifth start in their last 10 games. The 31-year-old Finnish started the season off poorly, but has significantly turned things around, posting a 2.12 GAA and .919 SV% in his last nine games (6-3-0). The Bruins enter Monday's contest as -118 road favorites against a reeling New York Rangers team that has lost eight of their last nine (1-7-1), including a 10-2 blowout loss to the Bruins.
