Having missed the last 14 games following surgery on his ankle, Marc Staal looks set to return to the line up tonight in the place of the injured Libor Hajek.  Staal has been skating as part of the team's full practice for the last week, and was going to force David Quinn to make a decision one way or another, but with Hajek spraining his knee last night in Colunbus, the decision made itself  more

After a month on the side lines with an undisclosed "upper body" injury, Mika Zibanejad is set to rejoin the team for tomorrow night's matchup with the Carolina Hurricanes.  The Rangers #1 center has missed 13 of the 22 games in the season, but has been practicing with the team in a contact jersey ove the past week or so  more
