Scratched tonight: Vinny Prospal (knee), Ryan Callahan (hand), Derek Boogaard (concussion symptoms), Erik Christensen (knee), Alex Frolov (knee), Brandon Dubinsky (leg), Ruslan Fedotenko (shoulder), Brodie Dupont (healthy), and Dan Girardi (ribcage).

STATE OF THE BLUESHIRTS: Banged up, but somehow still winning. I think that’s the biggest thing with these Rangers. They are essentially dressing an AHL team, but they keep winning. I don’t know how they do it, but they do it. This is the last game before the entire team gets a much needed week off to heal those injuries. Florida is one of those teams that always plays the Rangers well, even if they aren’t good themselves. A win tonight makes it four of five, which is a great way to hit the All Star break.

CRAZY THOUGHT: Grachev gets his first NHL point.
