Whole Sale Changes

Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants reports that Aaron Voros, P.A. Parenteau and Anders Eriksson will all be in the line-up for the Rangers, who will be where road blues tonight in Toronto.

Out are Ryan Callahan (right leg), center Brian Boyle (left foot/ankle) and healthy scratches Enver Lisin and Matt Gilroy.

Here are tonight's line combos...

Dubinsky-Christensen-Gaborik
Avery-Prospal-Drury
Shelley-Anisimov-Prust
Voros-Jokinen-Parenteau

Eriksson will be paired with Wade Redden.

Voros on being back in the line-up...

“I’ve just got to keep it simple, I’m excited, obviously,” said Voros, who has one goal and two assists in 33 games. “I felt I was playing some of my best hockey before I came out. Obviously, they needed to get more scoring with a different lineup.”

...the Rangers finally start playing well and what does Tortorella do? He changes the entire line-up. I know Callahan is injured, but how about just replacing him with Parenteau. I like Voros but the team has been better since Lisin was re-inserted in the line-up. I just don't get this.

...the Rangers go with Gilroy all year and with nine games left they decide he's not ready? If they felt this way why wasn't Eriksson brought up as soon as the Ranger acquired him at the deadline. And as reader bpette said yesterday, how does Redden get a pass over Gilroy? Again a head scratcher.

Jonas Gustavsson will be in goal for the Maple Leafs tonight.

totally agree...this team will NOT win a stanley cup with wade redden on this team. same with rosival but to a lesser extent...too much money tied up in mediocre-poor ranger players. even drury shouldnt be making the money he is, although i do love his pk and defensive abilities.

poor henrik will be 32 when reddens done his contract. get him out of here, its a slap in the face to have him here playing for so much money and contributing so very little. if he needs to be sent to the minors to get rid of him then so be it.
