Line ChangeLine Change
Fleury will draw back into the Hurricanes lineup on Tuesday.

Fleury was a healthy scratch for the last two games but he will replace Klas Dahlbeck in the second game of a back-to-back tonight vs. the Bruins. Fleury, who put up decent offensive numbers in the WHL and AHL certainly hasn’t done so at the NHL level yet. In his first 54 career games (all this season) the 21-year-old has just six assists.

InjuryInjury
Scheifele (upper-body) will miss at least the next two games.

Scheifele will miss his third and fourth consecutive games as he’s been ruled out for the remainder of the Jets’ road-trip. Scheifele was on the ice with a no-contact sweater on Monday, which suggests he could be ready when the Jets return home vs. Chicago on Thursday.

InjuryInjury
Scheifele is day-to-day with an upper-body injury; will not play Thursday in New Jersey.

Scheifele was hurt in New York on Tuesday and will not play tonight vs. the Devils. Scheifele’s injury will force the Jets to shuffle their lines, but Blake Wheeler will stay on the wing this time.

InjuryInjury
Scheifele left Tuesday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Scheifele was hurt in a collision with teammate Blake Wheeler in the first period and stiffened up on the bench. The Jets are locked into a playoff spot so they don’t need to risk Scheifele suffering further injury. Their No.1 centre will be re-evaluated on Wednesday and he should be considered questionable heading into Thursday’s game in New Jersey.

TradeTrade
The Rangers have acquired Vladislav Namestnikov, Libor Hajek, Brett Howden, 2018 1st Round Pick and a conditional 2nd Round Pick from the Lightning for Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller.

Namestnikov had a blistering start to the season picking up 33 points (15G / 18A) in his first 38 games but has struggled with just 11 points (5G / 6A) in his last 24. In New York he won’t have the luxury of playing with Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov, but he should still play a top-6 role.
