Rangers' Wheeler up for return in East finals

Greg Wyshynski is ESPN's senior NHL writer. TARRYTOWN, N.Y. -- New York Rangers forward Blake Wheeler, who has been out since February with a serious leg injury, says he is "an option and available" for their Eastern Conference finals series against the Florida Panthers. Wheeler suffered the injury Feb. 15, when his right leg bent at an unnatural angle and he was helped off the ice. It was an unnerving scene, one that had Rangers captain Jacob Trouba wondering whether the veteran forward had played his last NHL game.
