-I'll be heading to the game tonight in Ottawa so I'll have some in-depth analysis for tonight
Injury Update
-Torts also says expectation is Prospal will return after Christmas sometime and that Chris Drury will be re-examined on Sunday
-Today was Prospals first day skating with the team (non-contact jersey)
News and Notes on Tonights Game
-Torts says that Michael Del Zotto will be healthy scratch tonight and that Matt Gilroy will take his spot
I don't think its because of Del Zotto's defensive play as he hasnt been that bad lately, its moreso trying to get Gilroy in the lineup incase an injury occurs (gotta keep his legs ready)
-Lines the same as practice yesterday: Fedotenko-Stepan-Gaborik, Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan, Frolov-Boyle-Prust, Avery-Christensen-Boogaard.
-Lundqvist will start for the Rangers, Elliott for the Senators
-Rangers hope to rebound off of Sundays loss to the Sens and hopefully will play 3 periods tonight instead of 2 like last game.
-Kovalev will play 4th line tonight due to his inconsistent play
