The New York Rangers could be without one of their top centers tonight against Arizona.
Derek Stepan will be a game-time decision after having some wisdom teeth pulled yesterday, according to coach Alain Vigneault.
Stepan also had some screws removed from his jaw.
The 25-year-old has three goals and an assist in seven games.
Derek Stepan had a wisdom tooth extracted yesterday, but the dentist also took out screws that remained from his broken jaw in 2014. Ouch.

Stepan is considered a gametime decision for NYR tonight, but Vigneault seems to think he'll play based on how he looked this morning.
