#NYR HC John Tortorella won't discuss his lineup. Brian Boyle was skating with group, as was Marc Staal.

Brian Boyle---who was forced out of Tuesday night's game against the Flyers due to an unspecified injury---was unable to practice Wednesday. The Rangers had no update on Boyle's condition.
Boyle said that he planned to meet with doctors on Wednesday to determine the nature of his injury, which seemed to be to his right leg and took place in the first period of Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers. As a precaution to Boyle possibly missing Thursday's game with Florida, the Rangers recalled Chris Kreider from the Connecticut Whale.

Brian Boyle had played in 174 straight games (all 82 the past two years) before being a healthy scratch for tonight's game.
Boyle was averaging 14:19 a game and only had 1 assist with a -3. Boyle isn't fantasy relevant.

John Tortorella said as much Saturday night when he said of Boyle’s status: “He’s out.”
Boyle took an elbow to the head from Chris Neil and has a concussion. He is doubtful for the rest of the series.

Dubinsky-Biyle-Callahan
Boyle moves up to the second line as he tries to continue his slight offensive surge. The big man has goals in three of his last four games.

Zuccarello-Boyle-Mitchell
Boyle gets two new linemates as they try to squeeze more offense out of the big man. He has six goals and 19 points in 71 games.

“I was pretty scared with the way it happened, it’s the same one that’s been bugging me,” Boyle said. “It loosened up. It’ll probably be pretty sore tomorrow. It’s a perfect time for a break.”
Boyle played under 12 minutes last night due to an injury. The towering center has three goals and 11 points through 48 games.

Avery-Boyle-Feds
Boyle moves back to the third line after starting last game on the second. The Hingham, Massachusetts native scored a goal and four points over 16 games this season.

Although its only one night, and a pre-season game at that, I just don’t get the feeling that using Boyle on the left wing of the top line would work out to the team’s advantage.
Coach Tortorella prefers to use Boyle as the team's third line center. Last season, the hulking center scored 21 goals and 35 points in his breakout campaign. His production could be a fantasy mirage but he was quite relevant last season.

Torts: One of next LW experiments with Gaborik-Richards tandem: Brian Boyle
Boyle probably gets a look on that line before returning to centering Brandon Prust and Ruslan Fedotenko on the third line. Last season, the hulking center scored 21 goals and 35 points in his breakout campaign. His production could be a fantasy mirage but he was quite relevant last season.

Restricted free agent Brian Boyle has agreed to a three-year deal with the Rangers worth $5.1 million, meaning an annual average salary cap hit of $1.7 million.

Brian Boyle re-ups with the Rangers after potting 21 goals for them last season.
Boyle probably isn't much of a fantasy asset due to the lack of assists, but in deeper leagues, 20 goal scorers don't grow on trees
