Day: September 20, 2010

The biggest news out of camp to day is no doubt the injury to Chris Drury, a broken index finger he suffered while blocking a shot in this morning’s scrimmage. It’ll keep him out of the line-up for around four weeks, just long enough for him to miss the first few regular season games if the prediction holds true.

For those who are competing for forward spots, it provides a little more opportunity to make an impression, and hopefully win a roster spot. Even if it means playing out of position on the right wing. It also means slightly less competition up the middle, where Drury was likely to be given some consideration, even if he ultimately was moved back to the wing.

Just three more days before we officially see the Rangers on the ice in their first preseason game against the New Jersey Devils. The Rangers will go into the game with several positions yet to be determined, but at least one is already settled.

Today’s Ranger Countdown focuses on netminder Henrik Lundqivst. While the team brought in Martin Biron to help out the Swedish netminder, there’s no question who’ll be #1.
