Just reading the tea leaves but they didn't replace Stepan in line rushes - just Anisimov and Callahan in white - so maybe Step OK for Sat.
Doesn't seem like the Rangers are keeping Stepan out of their plans. The second line center scored 17 goals and 51 points in 81 games this season.

And here are Stepan-Richards-Gaborik on a line together
Stepan gets a crack at the top line after centering the third line over the first two games. With Richards and Gaborik both left handed shooters, adding a right handed forward to the line could lead to better production.

Derek Stepan says he has same attitude as rookie season: Competing for job---either center or left wing.
Stepan could very well earn the first line LW position over Wojtek Wolski, Ruslan Fedotenko or Sean Avery. Just another name to throw in the hat -- one with much more potential than the other three candidates.
