Max Pacioretty has been placed on injured reserve and will not play at the Rangers on Friday.
The forward has missed the past three games because of tightness that began during practice after returning from the 4Nations Face-off break, according to coach Craig Berube.
Chris Tanev is day to day with an upper-body injury and also will not be in the lineup at New York.
The defenseman left a 5-4 overtime win at the Boston Bruins on Tuesday after only two shifts and 49 seconds of ice time, and did not practice Wednesday.
Philippe Myers, who has been a healthy scratch the past three games, will replace Tanev against the Rangers and skate on a pair with Jake McCabe.
Defenseman Marshall Rifai was recalled from Toronto of the American Hockey League on Friday.
William Nylander played 21:21 against the Bruins but the forward did not take a shift in overtime. He did not practice on Wednesday but is expected to play against the Rangers.
Nylander skated in his usual spot at right wing on a line with left wing Pontus Holmberg and center John Tavares at Toronto's morning skate on Friday.
