Status report
The Rangers held an optional morning skate Wednesday. … Miller, a forward, and Borgen, a defenseman, each will be a game-time decision; Miller has missed two games and Borgen has missed three. ... Staal, a center, is "very doubtful," Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour said. ... Robidas is expected to make his NHL debut after being recalled from Chicago of the American Hockey League on Tuesday.
