Rangers/Lightning at the Garden
The Rangers will lace them up tonight in what will be their 4th game in 4 nights. The Lightning come to the Garden tonight in a rematch of Tuesday nights preseason epic battle.
Tonights game will be relevant in that tomorrow will mark the first day of cuts. Steve Valiquette is expected to play the entire game. Roster spot hopefuls Lauri Korpikoski, Petr Nedved and P.A. Parenteau will all see ice time tonight. Forwards Ryan Callahan, Colton Orr, Petr Prucha and Fred Sjostrom will all skate tonight as well. Blueliners Wade Redden and Dmitri Kalinin should also play.
Brendan Shanahan is still no where to be found. According to the NY Post, the door is still open to Mr. Shanahan to attend training camp.
Glen Sather and Renney said the window remains open for Brendan Shanahan to accept their tryout offer, despite the team’s departure for Europe Saturday.
“I spoke to him [Tuesday]. Nothing has changed, but it could,” Sather told The Post last night. “He’s skating and working out.”
The 39-year-old winger is believed to have offers from several teams, including the Blues, and perhaps, the Devils.
