The Rangers were off on Thursday, so there was no word coming from the team on the status of forward Ryan Reaves, who left Wednesday’s 6-2 preseason victory over the Devils with a serious-looking left leg injury. After the game, coach Gerard Gallant described Reaves’ status as "day-to-day,’’ and downplayed the notion the 34-year-old could be out for an extended period.

"Not from what indications I've heard so far,’’ Gallant said.
