Derek Stepan didn't participate in Friday's practice after absorbing a knee-on-knee hit on Thursday. Rangers coach John Tortorella was furious at Pittsburgh's Brooks Orpik for what he argued was a cheap and dirty hit. So far there's no timetable for Stepan's return and we haven't even gotten confirmation that he's dealing with a knee injury. The playoffs will start next week, so the Rangers might be reluctant to share anymore injury information than they need to.
