Wonder if MarJo comes back tonight?
It would be nice for him to get some games. The 2nd PP unit desperately needs him, it has been awful. I honestly wish they would stop using 2 Dmen on it. There is enough data to suggest that it is not optimal, in a general sense.

I would like to see Vatenen-Zacha-MoJo-Boyle-Bratt/Nico.

I think it is unlikely Boyle would be taken off so that is why he is included.

Big game tonight.

None of the 3 remaining opponents have much to play for, except for Toronto and Washington wanting to go into the playoffs playing good hockey. Surely the Rangers would like to stick it to their rivals though and try to stop their playoff hopes (something I had hoped Carolina would've done to Florida yesterday). NJ can't come out flat like they did against Montreal and expect to win this game.

Some good scoreboard watching tonight as well - will surely be checking in on the NYI-PHI game while Columbus and Florida are in action tonight as well. Tonight can go a long way in determining playoff seedings.

They can't come out the way they did in Montreal and expect to win this game.

I think the "spoiler" aspect is a bit overblown on the Rags' part, but I do think their speed and skill in recent call-ups could catch us off-guard. It should be a very good game.

Damn, Namestnikov is only playing on their 4th line? Tampa fans kinda warned that he was propped up by better players in their top 6...but I figured he'd still be top 6 on the Rags.

Do they have injuries on defense or is that all that's left?

Well...Shattenkirk but he's been on the shelf for a while now. Other than that this is all they have left. Wish Shattenkirk was playing in this game and living the boyhood dream playing for his beloved playoff missing Rangers (which he witnessed often as a boy) slink out of the Rock with their tails between their legs as the Devils clinch. I'm sure he knows he made the right decision.
