Stepan (flu) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Predators, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Stepan didn't even take part in warmups for the Rangers, so he'll presumably rest up at the team hotel as he looks to nurse himself back to full health. The Rangers will likely check back on his condition Sunday morning before determining if he'll be fit to play later that evening against the Stars. Lee Stempniak will join the lineup in place of Stepan on Saturday.
