Captain Chris Drury returns for the Rangers' last game tonight. Gilroy moves back to defense at the expense of Eminger who is a healthy scratch. Sean Avery is also a healthy scratch (sixth time this season), Mats Zuccarello returns to the lineup.

Gilroy comes out of the lineup for the first time since Jan. 2. Defenseman Steve Eminger and left wing Sean Avery will be back in the lineup... Wolski will be a healthy scratch for the first time in 28 games since being acquired from the Coyotes... Prust says he's good to go tonight. No surprise.

"You can say it's a lack of preparation, but that's BS; it's a lack of competitiveness. I don't have the explanation for it. I don't know if it's us not holding each other accountable, or what, but it's a total lack of respect for our fans and the organization. It's a joke."

Just a reminder, we will be hanging out at Cafe 31 (31st and 7th Ave) near MSG if you guys want to meet up. We should be there around 4 or 5. We may head down to Warren 77 (Averys place) after that. If you guys need to reach me you can dm me on Twitter @blueshirtbanter

Sean Avery just launched his own website, check it out

Top three lines remain constant: Prospal-Dubinsky-Gaborik Higgins-Drury-Callahan Lisin-Anisimov-Kotalik

Sorry to rain on the parade here but it appears that Avery might not be playing against the Capitals on Thursday.

In case you missed it, the Rangers were on David Letterman last night to read the Top 10 list, and Mouth has the video on RangerCrisis.com

Sean Avery said he would make the trip to DC for the last pre-season game and would continue treatment. The LW said he had no timetable for when he would skate. Dubinsky will start as No. 1 center vs. Caps; Prospal will roll between C and LW, says Tortorella.

"We got two hot meals a day, we got a great practice facility, we got limos flying all over the place, we got New York City, the theaters, I need this, I need that, it’s time to put your hand, instead of asking for more, take it away and start getting things done."
