New coming out of Rangers practice is that Dan Boyle is looking ready to play. Seth Rothman who covers the team tweeted this out:

#Rangers Dan Boyle just blasted one over Lundqvist’s shoulder, raised his arms in triumph. Any questions?

As for pairing in practice:

Yesterday, Boyle admitted the hand wasn’t where he wanted it to be but also indicated that he could play through the pain as it heals.

Rangers get set to take on the Avalanche at the Garden tomorrow. His insertion into the lineup would put Kostka in the press box and the Rangers one more step closer to full strength.
