(Elsa/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York Rangers forward Derek Stepan may be able to join the team for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals despite having his jaw broken in Game 3, according to NHL.com's Arpon Basu.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stepan sat out Game 4 after a hit from Montreal Canadiens forward Brandon Prust forced him\u00A0to get emergency surgery and earned Prust a two-game suspension.
