Another preseason game, another matchup against the Islanders. The Rangers are still carrying a lot of players due to the three-in-four to end the preseason. That isn’t overly surprising, but I expect a good amount of cuts tomorrow and Friday.
Kevin Shattenkirk is playing tonight, which is a good sign. We are also getting extended looks at Neal Pionk and Vinni Lettieri. I think both make the team, they’ve had solid preseasons and have put distance between them and anyone else behind them.
