New York Rangers: Coach Gerald Gallant said that Kaapo Kakko is skating and progressing well.

Ian Mendes: Ottawa Senators goaltender Matt Murray left yesterday’s game after taking a knee to the head by New York Rangers Chris Kreider.

Adam Kimelman: Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ryan Ellis missed last night’s game. Coach Alain Vigneault feels that Ellis will be ready to go on their road trip.

Jesse Granger: Vegas Golden Knights coach Pete DeBoer said that defenseman Zach Whitecloud is listed as week-to-week.

Tom Gulitti: Washington Capitals coach Peter Laviolette said that forward Nicklas Backstrom is progressing well from his hip injury and added, “He’s been on the ice quite a bit. He’s doing his thing. So, yeah, he’s moving forward.”
