Status report
Howard, a forward, was injured early in a 4-0 win at the New York Islanders on Saturday. Hallander would likely play if Howard is unable. … Tomkins is expected to make his first start for the Oilers and play his first NHL game since April 17, 2024. … Durzi (undisclosed) and Schneider (illness) each missed practice Saturday, but Sullivan said they are day to day and is not ruling them out. Durzi’s injury is lingering but it hasn’t prevented him from playing. … The Rangers recalled Robertson, a defenseman, from Hartford of the American Hockey League. He will make his season debut if Durzi and/or Schneider can't play. Morrow, a defenseman, is also a possibility. If he plays, it would be his season debut.
