Dan Boyle had blood work yesterday, results not back yet. Still under weather but flu-like symptoms still not believed to be mumps.

RANGERS TO WATCH
1. Henrik Lundqvist – It’s time to beat Ben Bishop and Tampa, nothing else needs to be said.
2. Chris Kreider – I have been hard on his recent play but I expect an inspired performance in honor of his late grandfather tonight.
3. Mats Zuccarello – He’s playing well but he needs to contribute more offensively.
EYE ON THE ENEMY
1. Ryan Callahan – AV called the last 2 games a Cally Lovefest, and he’s right. He’s not a Ranger anymore and he’s having way to easy a time out there. He needs to be firmly planted on his rear.
2. Steven Stamkos – Since the Rangers have last change, there is no excuse why he shouldn’t be facing Dominic Moore and the top d-pair of Girardi and McDonagh.
3. Ben Bishop – He owns the Rangers. If you want to beat him, go upstairs. Watch closely and see how early he drops.
FULLTILT FORECAST
Record is at 12-11 and looking to go upwards.
Third time will be the charm against Tampa!
NYR 3 – TBL 1
