As expected, Klein (thumb) took line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he will play Tuesday against the Canucks, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Klein, who has tallied nine points (three goals, six assists) in 33 games this season, is expected to skate alongside Keith Yandle on the Rangers' third pairing in Tuesday's contest.

Klein (thumb) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Klein was a game-time decision for Sunday's game against Washington due to a sore thumb, and ultimately missed the contest with that ailment. Klein will likely once again take the ice for pregame warmups ahead of Tuesday's tilt, at which point the Rangers should determine whether or not he'll be in the lineup. If Klein is unable to go, Dylan McIlrath will draw into New York's lineup in his absence.

EDGE Analysis

Klein was considered a game-time decision coming in, and it now appears he'll end up missing the contest. Dylan McIlrath will draw into the lineup alongside Ryan McDonagh in his place, making the veteran defenseman's next chance to play Tuesday against the Canucks.

Klein handed out a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

The points ended a lengthy slump wrapped around an oblique injury that cost Klein 11 games -- dating back to Nov. 6, he'd put up just two assists and 13 shots in 16 contests. The lack of shots is particularly concerning for fantasy owners who hoped Klein would again approach double-digit goals; despite the two points, he didn't take a single shot on goal Tuesday, and the last time he put more than one shot on goal was way back on Nov. 15.

Coach Alain Vigneault indicated Monday that Klein (oblique) will return to the contest for the evening's game against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Klein spent approximately a week and a half on injured reserve due to the oblique issue, and has been sidelined for nearly a month in total because of it. However, that stretch of absences will finally come to a close Monday, as he'll rejoin the lineup and is expected to be paired with Keith Yandle.

EDGE Analysis

Klein has been sidelined since Nov. 30 due to the oblique issues, but appears finally on the cusp of rejoining his teammates in game action. He was paired with Keith Yandle during the team's practice Sunday, and would likely do the same Monday should he play as expected.

Klein (oblique) will not play against the Ducks on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday night's contest is the last one for the Blueshirts before Dec. 28, as the holiday break comes at an ideal time for Klein to fully recover from his injury. Chris Summers has been filling in on the third defensive pairing the past two games with Klein out of action.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers placed Klein on injured reserve Friday, so it shouldn't come as a huge shock that he'll remain out of the lineup for Sunday's contest as well. However, the blueliner is nearing the end of this initial two-to-three week timetable, and he skated during the team's morning session, so his return could be just around the corner. Klein's next chance to play now comes Tuesday against the Ducks, but it's possible the team will just give him some extra rest and hold him out through the league-wide Christmas break.

EDGE Analysis

Klein has missed New York's last eight games with an oblique ailment he suffered on Nov. 30. The 31-year-old blueliner is now nearing the back end of his two-to-three week recovery timetable, but his placement on injured reserve Friday indicates he still isn't quite ready to return to action. The Rangers should announce Klein's activation from IR once he is fit to play.
