No Changes; Trap Game?

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports that the line-up will remain the same tonight with both Dan Fitsche and Aaron Voros being healthy scratches.

Zipay also notes that Islanders coach Scott Gordon said he will be starting to give more ice team to a core group of young players which makes Zipay wonder if that's a good thing or makes this even more of a trap game.

...i've seen a couple of blogs call this a possible trap game. Don't you need to be playing well or coming off a big win to have the next contest be called a "trap game?" Three wins in their last nine games and a victory against the lowly Senators would hardly qualify in my opinion.

Stan Fischler at MSG.com on the other hand feels this is a statment game for the Rangers.
