Practice Notes: Malik's Back

Sam Weinman at The Rangers Reports writes...

- The forward lines were the same in practice today, but Tom Renney was coy when asked if possible changes were in the works for tomorrow. My guess is if he was seriously thinking about it, we’d see as much today.

- Meanwhile, Marek Malik has been cleared to return even if he was the only player wearing a green jersey in practice (was he the only one celebrating St. Patrick’s Day?). Look for Malik to be back in tomorrow alongside Michal Rozsival, while Marc Staal will go back to skating with Christian Backman.

- As for Paul Mara, apparently the defenseman has a different view of his availability than Tom Renney. Cleared for full contact today, Mara after practice said he felt good enough to return. But when Renney was asked the same question, he said Mara was “a ways off” and that he needs to work on his conditioning.

...thank god Malik is back. Seriously.

...in my opinion, an out-of-shape Mara is better than an in-shape Backman any day. C'mon Tom, get Mara back in there.
