OK– that’s old, still.

The Rangers two newest players, who just happen to be Swedish, will be making their Ranger debuts tonight. Each playing at the end of the lineup (Sjostrom playing right side with Betts and Hollweg, and Backman playing on the right side with Staal).. all the other lines remain intact.

I expect both of them (who are eager to play) will have strong debuts. Another Rangers’ player to look out for this evening will be Henrik Lundqvist, and how he reacts to this first game. Some might say it doesn’t matter, but I believe it will have an effect on Lundqvist to impress his former childhood friends that have just recently became a part of his team.

Expect a physical one tonight….
