Rangers Tonight

Rangers continue their homestand against the Jets tonight.   Hayes will be back in, but so will Michael Kotska.  Kotska was horrible in his last appearance, and if he doesn't show something tonight, they'll have to make trade or a call up, as Moore will have 4 more games on his suspension.  Malone seems to be the odd man out.

Meanwhile, Derek Stepan started skating with the team again, and he could return as soon as Monday.  Let's hope he can get off to a fast start.   The last two years, Stepan was recovering from a hit to start the season, and last year he was recovering from his holdout.  Let's hope we get point-a-game Stepan right from the start this year.
