Chris Kreider missed his third straight game with an upper-body injury Friday, when the Rangers lost to the Maple Leafs 3-2 in their fourth game back from the 4 Nations Face-Off break.<\/p>\n
The longest-tenured Ranger participated in the optional morning skate and in practice Thursday but evidently still was not ready to return to game action.<\/p>\n
As a result, Brennan Othmann remained in the lineup for a second straight game on the fourth line next to Jonny Brodzinski and Matt Rempe.<\/p>\n
K\u2019Andre Miller, who suffered a lower-body injury in the Islanders game Tuesday, was able to suit right back up and play Friday. He lined up in his usual post on the left of Will Borgen.<\/p>\n
Additionally, J.T. Miller also was able to play after missing Thursday\u2019s practice due to illness.<\/p>\n
The newest Ranger centered the second line between Will Cuylle and Mika Zibanejad.<\/p>\n
With Adam Fox on injured reserve, Zac Jones drew into the lineup for the first time since before the 4 Nations on Feb. 7 against Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
Lining up next to Braden Schneider on the third defensive pairing, Jones appeared in his 29th game of the season. <\/p>\n
He had served as a healthy scratch in the past four straight games, as well as 24 of the past 27 contests.<\/p>\n
After posting a goal and an assist in the loss, Mika Zibanejad extended his point streak to five games. <\/p>\n
The Swedish center has collected three goals and four assists over that span.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Mika is playing well,\u201d coach Peter Laviolette said. \u201cI thought he was really good tonight. I think he played [24:44] minutes. I thought he was moving. He was generating. I do think that J.T. has something to do with that. Will has been a good addition on that line.\u201d<\/p>\n
An assist on Zibanejad\u2019s goal extended Miller\u2019s point streak to four games, over which he has totaled three goals and three assists.<\/p>\n
He now has 10 points (five goals, five assists) in his first nine games back with the Blueshirts.<\/p>\n
Laviolette didn\u2019t have much of an update on Adam Edstrom, who has been on injured reserve with a lower-body injury since Feb. 4. <\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Swede, who was projected to miss 2 \u00bd to 3 \u00bd months, has yet to resume skating. He is not expected to start skating again for some time, per a source.<\/p>\n
Toronto head coach Craig Berube opted to insert Ryan Reaves into the Maple Leafs lineup, after the former Ranger was scratched in the previous five games.<\/p>\n
Asked about the decision to put the veteran enforcer in, Berube pointed to Blueshirts bruiser Matt Rempe.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Rempe over there, obviously,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cHe\u2019s an effective player, in my opinion. He\u2019s physical, he\u2019s a hard guy to handle, so I just wanted to get Reavo in there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
