Lundqvist to Start 7th Straight; P.A. Clears Waivers

Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants reports that Henrik Lundqvist will start his seventh straight game (14th of the last 15) tomorrow against the Islanders.

Gross adds it would be logical that Johnson might be in line to start Thursday at Nassau Coliseum but the rookie netminder hasn’t been told yet and he said today he doesn’t feel it’s his place to ask.

...so much for resting Lundqvist in an Olympic year. Since it looks like the Rangers will be battling for a playoff spot during the final month of the season and will need to lean on Lundqvist, I'm worried that 'The King' will break down similar to 2006.

Gross also notes that P.A. Parenteau cleared waivers and was officially assigned to Hartford.

...thank god. (Dripping with sarcasm)
