Status report

Panarin will be a healthy scratch for the second straight game as the forward is being held out of the lineup for roster management purposes. … The Rangers recalled Berard from Hartford of the American Hockey League and he's expected to play in his first NHL game since Jan. 2. He will replace Brodzinski, a forward.
