RANGERS LINES:

Vinny Prospal-Artem Anisimov-Marian Gaborik

Lundqvist is goal.

STATE OF THE BLUESHIRTS: In flux. After a couple of changes, management did as much as it could to shake the team up. Will it work? I don’t know. We’ll get a chance to see Anisimov on the first line. We’ll see Kotalik on the PP again. We’ll have to see how Heikkinen does. A lot of questions. Not a lot of answers. This game will answer a lot.

CRAZY THOUGHT: Christensen scores in his first game.

Watch, discuss, have fun. Most of all LET’S GO RANGERS!!!!
