Live from MSG: Lundqvist in, Eminger sits
Steve Eminger is a healthy scratch today, with coach John Tortorella opting for the same lineup as in the 1-0 shootout win over the Sabres in the last game. As I wrote yesterday, with a physical game expected, the coach likely wants Stu Bickel in. Mike Rupp's thumb is banged up, leaving Brandon Prust as the other player most likely to drop the gloves....
No surprise that Lundqvist is in. Three shutouts in last five, rested, etc...
