Mikhail Grabovski, come on down and please step up.
New York Islanders head coach Jack Capuano announced Tuesday that Grabovski will make his return to the lineup against the New York Rangers after being out since Jan. 8 with a lower-body injury.
He'll be counted upon to help compensate for the loss of injured forward Kyle Okposo, who will be out of the lineup for the next six-to-eight weeks.
In 38 games with the Islanders, Grabovski scored six goals and added eight assists with 57 shots on goal.
