Derek Stepan didn't skate on Tuesday, after blocking a shot with his foot in the Eastern Conference final opener, but he is expected to play in Game 2 on Wednesday night. His big toe was bandaged after it was struck by a shot from New Jersey's Ilya Kovalchuk at 12:29 of the first period. Stepan was able to stay in the game and finish with 17:33 of total ice time. He has recorded one goal and seven helpers in 15 playoff contests.
