No game report for the Rangers @ Preds due to a long days work...but if anyone has any questions on players on either team tonight let me know!

Staal plays nearly 28 minutes and the team rolled 7 D...shows where Gilroy is going to be next game.

I'd be extremely worried if I was a Frolov owner. The guy is reminding me of Prucha in his 2nd year as a Ranger...just inconsistent and trying anything to get him going...but nothing seems to work.

Sergei Kostitsyn and Alex Frolov will probably be on the same flight to Russia following this season.

Lundqvist is obviously back on his game. Put the panic button away ladies and gentlemen.

Dubinsky was a force again...he played huge PP time and I expect him to be one of the Rangers top producers for the next few years...until they sign a high priced free agent of course

Avery and Tootoo had a great fight...2 pests showing what they got : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moCBhvkLYa4

Noone on Nashville really stood out this evening aside from Rinne...nothing out of the usual.

Gaborik: "If I won't be able to perform in terms of helping, I don't think it's worth it." Translation: Barring amazing recovery....out.
Lundqvist will man the net tonight.

Andrew Gross
Michal Rozsival says he'll need to monitor shoulder strain/right knee all season. "I don't want to take a chance of it coming back."
Derek Boogaard still out with shoulder injury.

With how horrid the Isles have been I can almost guarantee he'll sit 1 of the 2 games. Also, you can't sit Biron much longer with how well he is playing...can’t let him build any rust. There is no point in getting a starter tired and possibly ruining his confidence if he loses the 2nd game in the b2b to the worst team in the league.

He’s guaranteed 3 starts this week though. (Monday-Sunday)

What can you tell me about DelZotto this year? Is there a reason why he's not producing more? Every game I watch he seems to be playing well offensively, it just seems like he can't get on the score sheet. Thanks!

Let me first say...I do not think DZ is NHL ready (which sounds weird considering how well he played offensively last season). He's not responisble on D and I think that is one of the reasons for an offensive downfall so far this season. He's trying to be more responsible on D and is taking this job way more serious (training with Gary Roberts in off-season was huge). He's a lot stronger on the puck in the corners and his D seems a little smarter.

With this being said, he doesn't go for the home run passes and the unsafe plays anymore. I bet he's looking at his minus 20 last season and realizing that those numbers wont cut it in the NHL and he will not develop into a solid NHL D-man if he is putting up minuses left right and center.

The points will eventually come when Gaborik is healthy on the PP nightly and when he finds more balance in his game. I (as well as many others) think hes taking the right strides to becoming an elite offensive d-man in the NHL.

PS - It's not his fault for not being reliable on D considering he was thrown into the fire at age 18 when on any other team they probably would have kept him in the system (but look at the Ranger D).

WOW! Another Gaborik report...looks like hes in tonight!

A.Gross - Looks like Marian Gaborik's in, skating on a line with C Erik Christensen and Ruslan Fedotenko.

Dubinsky-Stepan-Callahan, Fedotenko-Christensen-Gaborik, Frolov-Boyle-Prust, Avery-Anisimov-White.

Anisimov to the 4th line is probably the most notable change...its not like its that bad of an offensive line though.
