Status report
Greer is eligible to play for the Panthers after serving his three-game suspension from the NHL Department of Player Safety for boarding Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary during a 4-1 loss March 20. … Laba is considered a gametime decision but is likely to return for the Rangers after missing five games with a lower-body injury. The Rangers assigned forward Juuso Parssinen to Hartford of the American Hockey League on Saturday, an indication that Laba will play.
