Vally In; Line Changes

After speculating earlier today, Steve Zipay at Blue Notes now confirms that Steve Valiquette will start tomorrow against the Carolina Hurricane. With Henrik Lundqvist slated to go Wednesday vs. the Pitssburgh Penguins. Unless, Tom Renney says, ' Vally gets a shutout and stops 45.'

Zipay also reports that based on the lines at practice today Aaron Voros and Laurie Korpikoski will play tomorrow meaning Dan Fritsche and Petr Prucha will be headed upstairs. However, Sam Weinman at the Ranger Report says that Voros and Fritsche were the last two to leave the ice today, signaling they’d be scratches tomorrow. So who knows.

...if Voros could stay out of the penalty box, I'd be advocating for him to be in the line-up because of his presence in front of the net on the power play. But he's taken too many ill-advised penalties to warrent a spot right now.

...i'm hoping for Prucha and Korpikoski, as I feel that line-up gives us the best chance of winning every night.
