Status report
Hill is expected to make his second straight start after Thompson started the previous six games. ... Chytil, a forward, appeared to sustain an injury during the Rangers' optional morning skate and had to be helped off the ice by Jones, a defenseman, and Leschyshyn, a forward; they were the only three skaters on the ice at the time along with some assistant coaches. Chytil, who is on long-term injured reserve and hasn't played since Nov. 2, returned to practice wearing a red non-contact jersey Thursday; he was already scheduled to miss his 38th straight game. … Shesterkin will start for the 11th time in 14 games. ... Center Nick Bonino was assigned to Hartford of the American Hockey League on Friday after clearing waivers; he will not report until after the NHL All-Star break.
