Game Notes

NYR
?Lundqvist (10-9-5, 2.87 GAA, .914 Sv%) will likely start for the Rangers
?It's midnight and I've spent the last 20 minutes trying to find something interesting about the Rangers, and I can't. I just can't. This team has become so boring

TOR
?Andersen (19-9-1, 2.48 GAA, .924 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?If you missed it, the Leafs announced that Hyman will be out a minimum of 3 weeks with an ankle sprain
?Ozhiganov missed Thursday's game because of an illness. No word yet on if he'll be ready to play Saturday but I'm going to guess yes

Injuries

?Jesper Fast - Upper Body - Injured Reserve
?Kevin Shattenkirk - Shoulder - Injured Reserve
?Cody McLeod - Hand - Injured Reserve​
Code: 
     
?Igor Ozhiganov - Illness - Questionable Saturday
?Zach Hyman - Ankle - Injured Reserve​

Looks like Marincin's in again. Also some swapping with the left-wingers.

So why aren?t they in more often, Mike?
 
I mean, I guess my inclination would be to say the Rangers are tanking but that roster doesn't even make it look like they're doing that with any sort of dedication or game plan.

It's pretty clear what the message is here for Marincin and Holl: poison Oz and Dermott if you want to play.

Something to keep an eye on. Don't think we've seen Marner on that side ever really.

Marner?s been attacking that side in 5v5 transition all season. It?s a nice added option if the PK is really aggressive and they crossover after some behind the net stuff.
 
Whatever happened to that weird narrative that the Leafs suck at home because of line matching?

Home: 10-5-1
Away: 13-5-1

They did suck and now Babs has stopped matching lines.
 
Seeing Zabinejad as the Rangers' top line center reminds me of the days Tyler Bozak was manning the top line for the Leafs.

Well, it's nice to see that babs read my post in the GDT. ;)

Did the Leafs call up a Marlie to replace Hyman?

When Matthews was on IR, they only called up Marlies when they went on the road.

They have a road game on 28th and then not again until Jan 10th.

This helps with the cap.
