Status report
The Rangers did not practice Friday. … Lindgren could miss a second straight game; the defenseman, a late scratch for a 2-1 win at the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday, has played one game after returning from an upper-body injury. … Bennett, a center, will skate Saturday and could return after missing two games, Panthers coach Paul Maurice said Friday.
