According to the Rangers
twitter feed we have a new set of line contestants in attempting to find the right price for offense with Gaborik, Prospal and Drury on the shelf.
Brandon Dubinsky-Artem Anisimov-Ryan Callahan
Sean Avery-Derek Stepan-Ruslan Fedotenko
Alex Frolov-Erik Christensen-Brandon Prust
Derek Boogaard-Todd White-Brian Boyle

I am happy that they put the Stepan line back together and left the Dubi-AA-Cally line in tact as it gives them two lines that have had varying degrees of success in the early season. I wish they would have done the same with the 4
th line and then just threw the other 3 together to see what clicked, especially since Tortorella in his coach speak yesterday talked about how important it was to get Christensen and White going. Having White on the 4
th line is not going to do that. This could also be a partial reaction to being demolished on face-offs the other night as White has a better history than Boyle, but I don’t expect too many even strength 4
th line faceoffs.
Now the interesting news will what the D pairs are going to be as I believe Sauer deserves to get back in the lineup.
Update: According to Andrew Gross:
AGrossRecord Mike Sauer in on defense tomorrow for #NYRangers. Either Matt Gilroy or Steve Eminger will be out.
