Status report
Chisholm, who has not played the past four games while dealing with a lower-body injury, will play and replace Merrill, a defenseman, in the lineup. … Wild coach John Hynes said the team is “hopeful” forwards Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek will return before the end of the regular season. Kaprizov is expected to begin contact drills soon. … Perreault, the No. 23 pick in the 2023 NHL Draft who signed an entry-level contract with the Rangers on Monday, will make his NHL debut. … Rempe, a forward, took part in an optional morning skate but will miss his third straight game. … Rangers coach Peter Laviolette said there would be some lineup decisions but didn’t specify beyond that.
