It’s Go Time!

Via Rangers Report  |  November 03, 2011
Game 11. Fourth of a six-game homestand. Rematch of the classic Game 2 breakaway contest in Stockholm (ok, maybe not a classic). Henrik Lundqvist back in goal against the Mighties. Otherwise, same lineup as Monday’s Halloween win over Soft Joe and the Sharks. Which means Sean Avery is prucha’d. Mike Rupp (knee) and Marc Staal (concussion symptoms) remain out.
