Carey Price will get the start today. Alex Kovalev is battling an ankle injury but will be in the lineup.

In two starts for Wilkes-Barre, Marc Andre Fleury is 1-1-0, but has an impressive 1.01 GAA and a .966 SV%

Braydon Coburn skated yesterday again and is actually probable to get back into the lineup tonight.

Sam Gagner how has six points in five games since Horcoff went on the shelf. As I've been saying all week, his ice time has seen a major jump.

Teddy Purcell was recalled to replace Cammalleri in the lineup last night (flu) and scored his first career goal. The team will be hard-pressed to keep Purcell and Boyle off the roster next fall.

Dominik Hasek says that he has been sore for a week or two and things are not improving. He does not know when he will return.

Chris Osgood got chased from the game for the second straight time. Jimmy Howard came in and stopped nine of 10. No word on if Jimmy will get the next start, but he has impressed.

Chris Drury will play his former team the Sabres for the second time since becoming a Ranger. he was pointless the first time.

Jiri Novotny missed the game with a shoulder injury.

Jared Boll, as I warned, missed the game with bronchitis.
