Warsofsky will be replaced by Anton Lindholm (upper-body) in the lineup on Friday, so Warsofsky returns to the Rampage, where he has 20 points (4G / 16A) in 44 games this season.
Warsofsky, 26, has had a really strong season with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, scoring seven goals with 21 assists (28 points) in 24 games.
