Injuries
New York Rangers
Filip Chytil – Concussion/Upper Body – OUT (On IR)
Chytil is still dealing with his concussion recovery. With the concerns of how that recovery is and the fact that he has not even skated yet, Chytil will obviously not play tonight.
Adam Fox – Knee/Lower Body – OUT (On LTIR)
Fox is still on Long-Term Injured Reserved, so there is no chance he is going to play tonight.
Dallas Stars
Thomas Harley – Upper Body Injury – Questionable (Day To Day – Likely a Game Time Decision)
Harley has not played for the Stars since the 8-3 win against the Minnesota Wild after suffering an upper-body injury in that game. He is day to day from his injuries, but he is likely going to be a game-time decision for tonight’s game.
