Del Zotto Sticking Around...But for How Long

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes has this quote from John Tortorella on rookie defenseman Michael Del Zotto...

"Right now he has made the club. Based on his play, he has made the club."

Bob McKenzie at TSN is even reporting that Del Zotto is running the power play.

...you've got to assume Torts is only talking about the first nine games. Those nine games will sort of be important for Del Zotto.

Zipay also reports Sean Avery didn't skate today and Tortorella acknowledged that if a player didn't skate three days before a game, it was doubtful that he would dress

...guess that means no Avery in Pittsburgh.

Finally, Tortorella notes that in order to keep Henrik Lundqvist, who will appear on the David Letterman Show with nine other Rangers to read the Top 10 list, fresh at season's end, the organization must reel in some of his media "distractions".
