This morning the Rangers announced they sent the following players to the Connecticut Whale of the AHL: Bourque, Hagelin, Mitchell, Newbury, Weise, Erixon, Parlett. The Rangers also sent Dylan McIlrath to Moose Jaw of the WHL
The lineup looks something like this:
Wolski-Richards-Gaborik
Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan
Zuccarello-Stepan-Fedotenko
Prust-Boyle-Rupp
Avery/Christensen
Staal-Girardi
Mcdonagh-Sauer
Del Zotto-Eminger, Bell, Bickel
Lundqvist
Biron
Stajcer
Stu Bickel and Brendan Bell were kept based on the injury situations regarding Staal and Sauer. Sauer is traveling with the team in Europe but is not playing and according to Torts is improving. Staal's situation too must be getting better since he is practicing with the Connecticut Whale once again today. Another interesting subject is the competition for the 13th forward spot between Avery and Christensen that Torts went out of his way to announce. In my opinion Avery is behind Christensen at the moment and needs to step up his game more in terms of skill for the remaining european games if he expects to make the team.
