It looks like veteran wing Ryan Callahan will play in today's Game 1 against the Rangers.
Callahan's status had been in doubt since he underwent an emergency appendectomy Monday night, and missed Tuesday's Game 6 against the Canadiens. But Callahan has practiced the last two days, encouraged with how he's felt, and Cooper said he will be in warm-ups today.
"Pretty tough kid so I expect him to play," Cooper said.
In Rangers news, coach Alain Vigneault said Tanner Glass will play today.
