Status report
Blackwell will replace Lemieux on the fourth line, and Smith will replace Johnson on the third defense pair, Rangers coach David Quinn said. … Kapanen could move from the fourth line to right wing on the third line for the Penguins. … Zucker, who was second-line left wing in the first five games of the season, could drop to left wing on Pittsburgh's third line with McCann elevating to the second line.
