Tonight, the New York Rangers will pay a visit to the Ottawa Senators for the second game of the home-and-home series. Here are some recent roster and lineup updates for tonight's game.
Michael Del Zotto Scratched
Coach John Tortorella has scratched second-year defenseman, Michael Del Zotto, and he has placed Matt Gilroy in his spot. This is the first time in Del Zotto's career that he has been scratched from the lineup.
Vinny Prospal and Chris Drury
Vinny Prospal has begun skating with the team again, and he should be set to play after Christmas. Prospal has yet to play a game this season due to off-season knee surgery.
Chris Drury continues to practice with the Rangers, and he may be able to return next week. Drury has played one game this season for the New York Rangers due to two broken fingers.
Line Changes
The Rangers have made some line changes for tonight's contest, including the placement of Ruslan Fedotenko and Derek Stepan on the first line with Marian Gaborik, reuniting Artem Anisimov with Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan on the second line, moving Alexander Frolov up to the third line with Brian Boyle and Brandon Prust, and placing Sean Avery on the fourth line with Erik Christensen and Derek Boogaard.
The defensive pairings or not yet known, and Henrik Lundqvist is expected to start for the Rangers.
That's all for now.
