Rangers' Justin Dowling: Remains unavailable again Monday

Dowling (lower body) will not be available to face the Islanders on Monday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Dowling was working with the non-game group, so it's possible that he will be ready in time to face the Devils on Thursday. Given the Rangers' forward depth, Dowling figures to be a long shot to make the Opening Night roster and likely will have to play the bulk of his games in the minors with AHL Hartford.
