Rangers-Ducks in a late one....

           But I'll be at the Honda Center, where Henrik Lundqvist (2-1-0, 2.36 lifetime vs Ducks) will face Dan Ellis as the Blueshirts try to capture their third straight game and secure their hold on 7th place in the East. Check here and on twitter.com/stevezipay for live reports and the usual post-game wrap, as well as on newsday.com for all the details.

          The Rangers, who have scored 11 goals in two games,  will dress the same lineup as against the Flyers, with Erik Christensen and Steve Eminger healthy scratches. Why change?

       The lines:

       Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan

       Wolski-Stepan-Zuccarello

        Avery-Prospal-Gaborik

       Prust-Boyle-Fedotenko

        The D:

        Staal-Girardi

        McDonagh-Sauer

        McCabe-Gilroy

**** 

        Couple stats:  Rangers 3-0 vs Pacific; Ducks 4-2 vs Atlantic....won 3-0 last season at MSG...Gaborik has 15 points in 23 career games vs Anaheim...

           Rangers have decided to practice at Sharks Ice in San Jose tomorrow, so I've changed my scheduled flight to a morning one (no AM swim for yours truly). That's dedication, huh?  

          Be back soon...
