Is Rozsival Playing Injured?

Brett Cyrgalis at The Blue Seats says...

"I’m guessing that Michal Rozsival has some sort of injury. In the last couple of games he seems to be laboring around the ice. It might be something in a hamstring or a groin, because his skating has been the source of his ineffectiveness. In the beginning of the second period, he was one-on-one with Toni Lydman and got so burnt he feel down. Lydman’s quite the player, but Jonathan Toews he is not. Rozsival has been our best defenseman for two years, and I don’t think the last couples games is an indication of how he’s going to play in the future. Yet, his current situation sure is not building confidence for the playoffs (which I finally feel like I can say with some authority)."

...obviously this just Cyrgalis' opinion, but it is something to keep an eye on, especially with the Rangers already thin at defense with Mara and Malik injured.
