Full Squad Tonight

Sam Weinman at The Rangers Report, reports that Jaromir Jagr, Brendan Shanahan and Sean Avery will all be in the lineup tonight...

"Sean Avery, Brendan Shanahan, and Jaromir Jagr will all be in the lineup tonight against the Sabres despite their assortment of injuries.

'Whether or not it’s sore, I just put it out of my head,' Avery said of his wrist.

Losers of six of their last seven, the Rangers obviously need Avery back, and can expect to benefit from his rare brand of spunk. But can he be play his on-the-edge game while remaining healthy? The answer so far, with three significant injuries already this season, has been no...

...In other news:

- Expect Shanahan and Avery to rejoin Chris Drury on a line. Marcel Hossa, Greg Moore and Jason Strudwick will be the scratches.

- Henrk Lundqvist is in net."

...not sure what to think with Jagr, Shanahan and Avery in the lineup tonight. On one hand I appreciate them playing through the pain, but on the other hand are they hurting the team by not being able to play at 100% and themselves by worsening their injury.

...Renney must have read Brooks' article today with the benching of the human penalty Marcel Hossa.

...with Strudwick in the press box it looks like everyone's favorite defenseman Marek Malik will be in the lineup tonight.
