Status report
Hellberg practiced Friday after the goalie signed a one-year contract Wednesday. ... Lafreniere will return after being a healthy scratch in a 4-0 win at the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday. He could replace Hunt, a forward, but Rangers coach Gerard Gallant would not confirm who would come out of the lineup. ... Nemeth returned to practice Friday after the defenseman missed practice Monday for personal reasons and was a healthy scratch the past two games; it's unclear if he will return to the lineup.
