Kaapo Kakko In Danger Of Being Scratched For Game 2

New York Rangers right wing Kaapo Kakko is reportedly in danger of being a healthy scratch for Game 2 against Florida on Friday.

Austin Riley Not Returning On Friday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley (intercostal) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's series opener in Pittsburgh against the Pirates.
