The New York Rangers have announced that they have sent Kris
Newbury back to the Connectict Whale. Newbury
registered one assist and 35 penalty minutes in eight games with the Rangers. In the early games Newbury showed himself
well and played hard in each game, but was reckless at times in trying to make something
happen. The move to send him down is
mainly due to the returns of injured forwards over the last few games and
specifically the return of Prospal tonight, which would have made Newbury a
scratch from the lineup. This move is
the last “easy” decision the Rangers will have when it comes to the roster as
injured players get healthy. When
Christensen and Fedotenko get back then it will be a regular who would have to
get benched to make room for guys.
Based on practice yesterday thinking tonight's lines will be:
Prospal-Stepan-Gaborik
Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan
Zuccarello-Boyle-Prust
Wolski-Drury-Avery
