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.
Quick allowed one goal on 24 shots in the Kings' win over the Flames on Saturday. It was a much-needed win for Quick, who was a disaster in his first three starts of the season. You shouldn't be back all-in on Quick after just one good game but tonight he takes on a Jets team that has lost three of their last four while averaging just 1.25 goals per game.

Trocheck missed Monday's practice and Tuesday's morning skate, suggesting that he will not be available for tonight's game vs. the Penguins. Head coach Joel Quenneville would not rule Trocheck out, listing him as questionable. The newly signed Brian Boyle will replace Trocheck in the lineup and Noel Acciari may move up to centre the second-line.
Trocheck was absent from Monday's practice and head coach Joel Quenneville is unsure whether his second-line centre will be available on Tuesday. The Panthers recently signed Brian Boyle to a one-year deal and the veteran was skating in Trocheck's spot in Monday's session.
Quick allowed five goals on 36 shots in the Kings loss to the Golden Knights last Sunday. Through three starts, Quick has allowed 19 shots on 92 shots (.793 SV%). When your GAA and SV% are almost the same, you know you’re not playing well. Calgary is t-20th in goal-scoring right now but it’s very difficult to trust Quick in this spot given how poorly he has started the season.
