Status report

The Rangers did not hold a morning skate. ... Rempe, a forward, will serve the fourth of his eight-game suspension for boarding and elbowing Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen on Dec. 20. … Tkachuk missed practice Sunday and did not skate Monday morning, but Florida coach Paul Maurice said it was for maintenance.
