Status report
Trocheck will be a game-time decision because of an undisclosed injury; he was on the ice for the Rangers' morning skate Wednesday but did not take part in line rushes. ... New York coach Gerard Gallant would not name a starting goalie, but Halak was first off the ice following the morning skate, which typically indicates he would start. … The Senators did not hold a morning skate Wednesday. ... Brassard will be a game-time decision because of an undisclosed injury. … Norris has resumed skating but there is no timeline for his return; the center has missed 16 games.
