The last-place Rangers team is facing a potential trade deadline, with additional deals still expected. Manager Mike Sullivan praised his players' handling of the uncertainty ahead of the deadline. He noted that the team has done a good job of compartmentalizing and focusing on the game. Players such as Artemi Panarin, Vincent Trocheck, Braden Schneider, and Sam Carrick could be moved next. Captain J.T. Miller was placed on injured reserve with an upper-body issue, and winger Adam Edstrom is expected to return to the team soon.
