Trocheck will miss his seventh straight game on Thursday and remains day-to-day, which makes him questionable for their Saturday/Sunday back-to-back.

Zibanejad will not play Wednesday vs. the Red Wings but also won't travel to Carolina for Thursday's game. Look for Zibanejad to return on Sunday at the earliest. Ryan Strome will continue to centre the first line with Zibanefad sidelined.

Quick surrendered five goals on 49 shots in the Kings loss to the Canucks on Wednesday. Quick has lost three straight starts while allowed a combined 14 goals on 110 shots (.873 SV%). Quick has been under siege as of late and a matchup with the Maple Leafs who are seventh in goals (3.47 GF/gm) and 13th in shots (32.1/gm) is a recipe for disaster for Quick.

Brodzinski is dealing with a shoulder injury so they swap him for Lean Bergmann to help the Sharks in the immediate future. Brodzinski has two goals and one assist in three games with the Barracuda this season.

Zibanejad will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury on Monday but is "making progress," according to head coach David Quinn. "He had another good day today," Quinn told reporters. "He's still day-to-day" and "we'll see" when asked about a potential return on Wednesday. The Rangers have played well without Zibanejad, thanks to new-found chemistry between Artemi Panarin and Ryan Strome and the impressive play from Filip Chytil, who was recalled from Hartford (AHL).

Brodzinski has appeared in just two games this season but will replace Dylan Gambrell, who will miss at least two games with an upper-body injury. Brodzinski has just 11 points (6G / 5A) in 56 career NHL games.

The Rangers will stick with the same lineup on Saturday, which means Zibanejad will miss his second straight game. Rangers' head coach David Quinn announced that Zibanejad's injury is in the "neck area." Filip Chytil played very well in Zibanejad's absence, so expect them to make sure he's 100 percent before re-inserting him into the lineup in a November game.

Trocheck remains out of the Panthers lineup on Wednesday, which means the Panthers will continue to lean heavily on Noel Acciari (16:43 TOI/gm). Monitor Trocheck's status leading up to Saturday's game vs. the Red Wings.

Zibanejad suffered an upper-body injury against the Bruins on Sunday and will not be in the lineup vs. Tampa Bay. Zibanejad will be replaced by Filip Chytil, who was recalled from Hartford (AHL) on Monday. Zibanejad is officially day-to-day.

Zibanejad suffered an upper-body injury on Sunday and was not on the ice for Monday’s practice. Brett Howden was bumped up into the top-6 and Ryan Strome was on the first power-play unit after Zibanejad got hurt. Look for them to play expanded roles and for Jesper Fast (personal) to replace him in the lineup if Zibanejad can’t play.

Zibanejad was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Bruins following a hit from Patrice Bergeron. Head coach David Quinn said that Zibanejad's injury "isn't a concussion" and added that it's just an "upper-body" issue and that he is "day-to-day." It looks like Zibanejad avoided serious injury but he remains questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lightning.

Quick stopped 26 of 28 shots in the Kings win in Winnipeg on Tuesday. After a dreadful start to the season, the Kings gave Quick a few games to reset and he has since won two in a row while stopping 49 of the 52 shots (.942 SV%) that he has faced. Los Angeles is doing a great job of limiting the opposition right now, giving up the second fest shots against per game (28.0) but Quick remains a risky option in St. Louis.

Trocheck missed the Panthers morning skate in Calgary and is not expected to play. Trocheck remains day-to-day and that leaves Brian Boyle to centre the second line again.

Trocheck always seemed unlikely to suit up against the Penguins after missing Monday's practice and Tuesday's morning skate. Brian Boyle will make his Panthers debut and centre the second-line in Trocheck's place.
