The good news for the Rangers is Carl Hagelin will be returning to the lineup after serving a three-game suspension for his elbow to the head of Sens captain Daniel Alfredsson (concussion) in Game 2.
The Rangers could use Hagelin's offensive boost. He'll likely take Boyle's spot in the lineup.
Hagelin moves back down to the third line after playing with Brad Richards over the last handful of games. The speedy winger has seven goals and 11 points through 19 games.
