Status report
Soucy, who was acquired in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday, could make his Rangers debut. … Kreider, a forward who has missed six games, is on the road trip, but coach Peter Laviolette would not confirm whether he’d play Saturday. … Fox has resumed skating, but the defenseman will miss his fifth straight game. ... Cozens will make his Senators debut after being acquired in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres for forward Josh Norris and defenseman Jacob-Bernard-Docker on Friday. ... Kleven will be a game-time decision; he was a full participant in practice Friday after missing three games with a lower-body injury. ... It is not known whether Zetterlund, acquired in a trade with the San Jose Sharks for forward Noah Gregor on Friday, will arrive in time to play.
