The Rangers finished up their west coast swing on Saturday night, and immediately flew back for tonight’s game against Nashville. Seems like an odd schedule, since the Rangers have three days off after this one. They will have earned it.
I know I try to give the lineup in these threads, but I just can’t seem to keep up with David Quinn, who is making Tom Renney blush. I’d like some semblance of consistency, but what do I know?
