I am quite surprised by the roster that the Rangers are submitting, specifically because of the amount of players with NHL experience that will be playing tomorrow night. Aside from that, us fans will be able to see Matt Gilroy and Mike Del Zotto on the blue line, both of which have a decent shot at cracking the Ranger lineup for the regular season.
In addition to Del Zotto and Gilroy, the Rangers will also have two big prospects on offense in Artem Anisiomov and Evgeny Grachev. These are two kids worth keeping a very close eye on. Grachev and Anisimov are the two most skilled prospects in Ranger possession, and Anisimov is pretty much a lock for the third line center this season.
We will also be seeing summer acquisitions Brashear, Kotalik, Lisin, Higgins, and Brashear all in Ranger Blue for the first time this year.
I will have pregame and postgame for the contest which begins at 7 pm, but I will go more into detail on that tomorrow......
