Vitali Kravtsov underwent cardiac screening Monday, as part of the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol and, assuming everything checked out, the 21-year-old forward is expected to join practice Tuesday, acting Rangers coach Kris Knoblauch said.
"Yes, we anticipate that he'll be on the ice [Tuesday] if everything goes well,’’ Knoblauch said.
Kravtsov, the first of three first-round picks by the Rangers in 2018, played this season on loan with his old team, Traktor Chelyabinsk, of the KHL.
