Rangers Vs. Islanders

The Rangers visit the Islanders on Long Island tonight at 7 p.m. The Rangers lineup is most likely as follows:

     Stepan-Richards-Gaborik
     Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan
     Fedotenko-Boyle-Prust
     Rupp-Christensen-Zuccarello

     McDonagh-Girardi
     Del Zotto-Erixon
     Woywitka-Eminger

     Lundqvist

Scratches-Micheal Sauer (shoulder), Wojtek Wolski (groin), Marc Staal (concussion symptoms)

Opponent notes: Rick DiPietro is out indefinitely after suffering a concussion. Former Ranger P.A. Parenteau is looking forward to proving to the Rangers that they made a mistake. (Personally, I hope Callahan or Boyle flatten him).

Other Notes: Jeff Woywitka will make his debut as a Ranger in place of the injured Michael Sauer. Derek Stepan will play (or at least start) on the top line with Brad Richards and Marion Gaborik, partly because of Wolski's injury, and also because Torts wants to keep the Pack" line together.
