The New York Rangers are trying to make eight straight wins when they head to Newark, NJ, to face the Devils on Thursday night.
Prior to puck drop, the Rangers -- who did not hold a morning skate -- recalled prospect Brennan Othmann as they take precautionary measures due to a few injuries to their forward group.
Artemi Panarin and Jimmy Vesey did not skate yesterday and may be out of the lineup.
The Rangers did not hold a morning skate, so any lineup changes will be learned when the players hit the ice for warmups around 6:30 PM.
During his first NHL stint, Othmann had zero points in three games with six shots, a block, and six hits.
In 44 games with the Hartford Wokpack, the 21-year-old has 14 goals and 22 assists for 36 points.
