So, it wasn't only Dubinsky's hand that kept him out of the last 57 minutes of the 4-1 loss to the Devils. Coach John Tortorella said: "He got hit in the nose pretty hard. Having some problem with the sinus." Initially, reporters were told that it was a hand problem, and we were skeptical (what? writers skeptical? Nah) because he really didn't land many punches on Ryan Carter. Anyway, he's travelling to Ottawa and listed as day-to-day.

Ryan Callahan left practice a few minutes early and did not appear int he locker room. But I assume he was just resting the bruised foot.
The lines at practice:
62-19-24; 42-21-10; 26-22-8; 28-34-71.
The d: 5-27; 32-4; 18-41; 44-6
So if that holds for the mornign skate, John Mitchell and Anton Stralman will be back in the lineup after a one-game hiatus.
Getting ready to board flight to Ottawa, more later...
More Rangers
