Hudson Fasching - Won't play Wednesday Fasching is set to be a healthy scratch Wednesday versus Pittsburgh, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Pierre Engvall - Will be scratched Wednesday Engvall will be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's tilt against Pittsburgh, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Ilya Sorokin - Leaves ice first Wednesday Sorokin was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home against Pittsburgh.
Impact With the Isles cemented into the third-place spot in the Metropolitan Division, the team will go with Sorokin on Wednesday. That points to Semyon Varlamov being the presumptive starter for the postseason, which shouldn't come as a surprise considering he went 7-1-0 in eight games down the stretch. For his part, Sorokin did play in 55 games for the team this year and should still have a chance to get into a playoff game if Varlamov struggles

Impact Engvall set up Jean-Gabriel Pageau's opening tally midway through the first period before adding a second assist on a Kyle MacLean goal in the third. It's just the second multi-point game of the year for Engvall (his first since Nov. 22), though he's been productive down the stretch with five points (two goals, three assists) in his last six games. Overall, the 27-year-old winger has 10 goals and 28 points through 74 games this season.

The 35-year-old Varlamov has started four of New York's last five games while going 7-1-0 with a stellar .935 save percentage over his last eight outings.
