Here are your pre-game notes:
- As we talked about, Henrik Lundqvist will be getting the start, and Aaron Asham will miss another game due to his back spasms. No real surprises there.
-As of right now, Stu Bickel is expected to play in the forward role for the Rangers tonight. I don't really mind this as much tonight, especially with the Sabres on the other end.
- The Rangers are looking for their second win in a row tonight. They've had some opportunities to string some of these together, but injuries threw them off the tracks a little. Tonight is an opportunity for them to find themselves again, and start bringing themselves back in the playoff picture.
- Keep an eye on Thomas Vanek. He missed the Sabres last game against the Devils, and that would be fortunate for the Rangers if he wasn't able to suit up tonight.
