Per Seth Rothman, forward Ryan Malone will make his Rangers debut tonight against the Islanders, skating on the fourth line with Dominic Moore and Tanner Glass. Mats Zuccarello is also returning tonight, so J.T. Miller and Jesper Fast will be the healthy scratches.

Mike Kostka is skating with Marc Staal, with Kevin Klein back with John Moore. Matt Hunwick will be the odd man out.

I thought Fast was playing well enough in his role to stay in the lineup. But hey, I’m not the coach. Also, Miller hasn’t been as bad as everyone has been advertising, at least in the small sample size, since he’s the team leader in relCorsi. He certainly hasn’t been perfect, but he hasn’t been awful.
