Toronto Maple Leafs vs New York Rangers Preview, What to Watch
Even though the Rangers dominated the New York Islanders on Tuesday, they concluded the evening with the possible long-term problem of having to replace one of the NHL's most effective defensemen, Adam Fox.
Due to an upper-body injury, Fox is on injured reserve. The Rangers will be without him for at least a week, if not longer, beginning on Friday night when they play the Toronto Maple Leafs, who are on a roll.
at the third period of New York's 5-1 thumping of the Islanders at Elmont, New York, Fox was hurt after he fell to the ice. Fox, who is anticipated to return at some point during New York's last 24 games, was gripping his left shoulder when he left after becoming entangled with Islanders forward Kyle MacLean.
Fox is tied for fourth place among defenseman with five goals and 48 points. This season, he is the third of New York's top six defensemen to sustain an injury.
Due to a preseason facial injury, Fox's partner Ryan Lindgren missed the first five games. After suffering a lower-body injury on Tuesday, K'Andre Miller was placed on injured reserve in December, missed a week of practice due to an upper-body ailment, and did not participate in contact drills on Thursday.
After losing to the Buffalo Sabres 8-2 on the road during the 4 Nations Face-off break, the Rangers are looking to win three in a row.
Chris Kreider may be able to return on Friday after missing the previous two games due to an upper-body injury that may have been caused by a previous back problem. Kreider did practice on Thursday. Due to a sickness, J.T. Miller, who scored his fifth goal since joining from the Vancouver Canucks, was unable to participate in practice.
A squad that came back from the break and scored 16 goals in victories over the Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, and Carolina Hurricanes will play whoever is in the Rangers' lineup. Additionally, since being restricted to three goals during a three-game losing streak from January 22–29, the Maple Leafs are 6-1-0 in their last seven games.
After giving up the opening three goals, Toronto came back to win 5–4 at Boston on Tuesday. The Maple Leafs lost winger William Nylander and defenseman Chris Tanev that evening, and Mitch Marner finished with two goals and the game-winning goal with fifty-two seconds remaining in overtime.
After taking a hit in the first period, Tanev left the game and is currently out with what appears to be a shoulder injury, which will probably keep him out on Friday. Nylander might play on Friday despite not being on the ice during overtime and appearing to be favoring his arm.
Tanev has a plus-26 rating and is one of the NHL's top blockers of shots (151).
Los Angeles Kings vs Dallas Stars Preview, What to Watch
When the Dallas Stars play the Los Angeles Kings on Friday night to start a four-game homestand, they will be keen to get back on track.
Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets was a bad way for the Stars to end a six-game road trip that was broken up by the two-week break for the 4 Nations Face-Off.
Pete DeBoer, the coach of the Stars, stated, "I like the fact that we're not happy," "We hope to win each and every night. The lesson (against the Blue Jackets), in my opinion, is that we simply didn't play well enough to prevail.
Last Saturday's 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils showed how well the Stars had recovered from their break. The next day, in a 4-3 victory over the New York Islanders, Jason Robertson scored a hat trick for Dallas.
Columbus scored two goals in the first five minutes of the Stars' matchup with the Blue Jackets, a team that is fighting for a postseason berth for the first time since 2020, and they never looked back.
Similar to the Kings, the Stars have a 20-6-1 record on their home ice and have performed incredibly well there this season. By the time Dallas plays in front of its own supporters, the Columbus loss ought to be a thing of the past.
The Kings come into Dallas on a seven-game winning streak (5-0-2) but are still trailing the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights in the Pacific Division and have little margin of error over the wild-card teams.
Prior to Wednesday night's 3-2 overtime loss to the visiting Vancouver Canucks, Los Angeles had also won two straight games heading into the two-week vacation.
Before embarking on a three-game road trip, Kings coach Jim Hiller hoped his team would play well in front of their home crowd.
Due to a lower-body ailment, Kings defenseman Drew Doughty was unable to play versus Vancouver. It might have something to do with the ankle surgery he had in September after breaking it during a preseason game.
