Andrew Gross at Rangers Rants reports that Martin Biron was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate meaning he will start tonight against the Islanders at MSG....with the Flyers tomorrow, makes sense to give Lundqvist a rest. Even if it's against the rival Islanders.In other line-up news, Jeff Woywitka was hit on his injured foot with an errant puck during practice officially ending any chances he had of returning to the line-up. Tim Erixon will get his second straight start in his absence....thought Erixon looked solid in New Jersey the other night, so I'm more than comfortable having him in there again.Remember to follow me on Twitter & Facebook or e-mail me at nyrfan94@yahoo.com.

Short and sweet. Same lineup tonight. Jeff Woywitka re-injured his foot this morning and won’t play. Not sure if it’s now worse or if he’ll be out longer. He talked about Martin Biron very briefly, and about  Mike Rupp. Wouldn’t answer questions on “24/7”  John Tortorella:

Blueline Changes This Summer?

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  December 23, 2011
The Rangers blue line could look a lot different in the summer of 2012. There’s a chance that next season the Rangers will start six defensemen that have seen the ice this in New York season but don’t expect that six to include Steve Eminger, Anton Stralman and Jeff Woywitka. All three journeyman pros have expiring contracts and are likely to be let go; at most one may be retained...
