Day: September 14, 2009

Day two of camp wrapped up and the Rangers were still without Brandon Dubinsky. Perhaps just as concerning, Marian Gaborik missed the day after being held out as a precautionary measure. Gaborik has a lower body injury of some sort, which Steve Zipay believes to be a mild groin strain. With that said, Tortorella told Andrew Gross that he should be able to go today.

Alexei Semenov joined the Rangers yesterday on day two as he attempts to win an NHL contract. Semenov caught Tortorella’s eye with his size, but it remains to be seen whether he can earn a chance with New York. The Rangers currently have only four veteran defenders and it would seem likely that they’ll try to add another experienced blueliner.
