Game three for the Rangers and Penguins starts in just under 10 minutes. The Petr Prucha experiment is over for right now in New York, as  Ryan Hollweg is back with  Blair Betts and Fred Sjostrom on the fourth line. Tom Renney tinkered with the lineup in practice, so don’t be surprised if Brendan Shanahan ends up logging some fourth line minutes tonight as well.

On defense, Christian Backman survived a roster move as well, as Jason Strudwick had been paired with Paul Mara  in practice. Mara does move into Backman’s spot on the power play, however.

Gary Roberts is now a healthy scratch for the birdos, who will look to put the perverbial fork in the Rangers tonight.

Enjoy the game, it’s a must win for the Blueshirts.
