Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants reports that Michael Del Zotto return to practice today after having the 50 stitches removed from his chest 20 minutes earlier in the morning.
Gross says it's still not clear whether Del Zotto will be able to play Tuesday at Ottawa when the Rangers restart their season.
Del Zotto on how he felt after practice...
“I felt pretty good, surprisingly,” Del Zotto said of today’s skating session. “Everything, my legs felt good, it felt good to be back on the ice, it’s been 16 days.”
Finally, Gross reports that Henrik Lundqvist re-joined the Rangers for the first time since the Olympics and had this to say about being back...
“Today, I’m focused on the Rangers,” Lundqvist added. “I wanted a couple of days off. But it felt good coming into the rink today.”
Lundqvist added this on his new back-up Alex Auld, who was also at practice...
“It’s a good pickup for us,” Lundqvist said. “Personally, I have to keep playing really well to keep playing, otherwise we’ve got another guy.”
...lots of good news coming out of practice today.
...the Rangers caught a break with Lundqvist only playing three games during the Olympics with two of them being non-competitive. Big difference from 2006.
...now we just wait to hear word on Gaborik, who hopefully should be ok.
