Status report

The Rangers held an optional morning skate and will have the same lineup they used in a 2-0 win at the Seattle Kraken on Sunday, with the exception of Shesterkin starting after Quick made 24 saves against the Kraken. … Chytil, a forward, will join his teammates in Calgary on Wednesday after missing the first two of a four-game road trip with an injury sustained during a 3-2 win against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday. … Miller, a forward, is taking an indefinite leave of absence for personal reasons, the Canucks announced Tuesday. … Garland did not take part in the morning skate as he awaits the birth of his child. … Desharnais, a defenseman who missed the past two games, skated Tuesday and could return if Garland is unavailable. … Vancouver recalled Bains from Abbotsford of the American Hockey League and sent defenseman Elias Pettersson to the AHL. … Boeser, a forward who has missed five games since getting hit in the head during a Nov. 7 game against the Los Angeles Kings, skated for the first time Tuesday but remains out indefinitely.
