Lemieux will make his Rangers debut on Wednesday.
Lemieux was acquired from the Jets in the Kevin Hayes trade and will replace Filip Chytil in the lineup on Wednesday. Lemieux is a former No.31 overall pick in 2014 but has been limited by a deep roster in Winnipeg, scoring nine goals with two assists (11 points) in 44 games on their fourth line. He will start with Lias Andersson and Pavel Buchnevich.

Andersen will start Monday vs. the Sabres.
The Blue Jackets have acquired Ryan Dzingel and a 2019 seventh-round pick from the Senators for Anthony Duclair, a 2020 second-round pick and a 2021 second-round pick.
Dzingel has enjoyed a breakout season, scoring 22 goals and 22 assists (44 points) in 57 games. Dzingel brings a ton of speed to the Blue Jackets lineup and could lineup with Matt Duchene, who was also acquired from Ottawa on Friday. Dzingel has played 52.5 percent of his 5v5 minutes with Duchene this season and the duo has averaged 27 ScoringChancesFor/60.

Staal (concussion) is expected to play Saturday in Dallas.
Staal has been sidelined by a concussion since December 22nd but says he’s feeling good and expects to play on Saturday. It remains to be seen where Staal will slot into the lineup but he will most likely serve as the Hurricanes second-line centre and force either Greg McKegg or Saku Manalanen out of the lineup and likely back to the AHL. Staal has 11 points (5G / 6A) in 29 games this season.
Dzingel will not play Thursday vs. the Devils.
