Nylander is day-to-day still. He's doing better but still day-to-day. Matthews will be a game-time decision. Tanev is lower-body, it's not the same injury. He's getting evaluated today so we'll have a better timeline later today on him,
Chmelar, the Rangers 5th round pick in 2021, has very quietly become a steady prospect for the Rangers. His 2-3-5 in 9 games this year doesn't light the world on fire, but he's been great for the Pack and has a nice edge to his game. The 6'5″, 220 lb winger will probably slide into a third line role, assuming he plays, to help give that line a little more scoring bite to it.
