Greetings from the Garden, where Michael Nylander (flu) and Matt Cullen (sprained knee) aren't dressing and Kevin Weekes is in the cage against the Devils.
Coach Tom Renney will dress all seven defensemen, and probably use one as a winger. Or, he could double-shift a center. Aaron Ward said he still hasn't shaken the flu bug either
Renney said D Thomas Pock was not called up from Hartford because he played back to back games Friday and Saturday.
As for Jed Ortmeyer, don't expect to see him soon.
Renney said Ortmeyer, who has been in Hartford on rehab for three games as part of his recoverty from a pulmonary embolism suffered in August, will be recalled, then re-assigned, Renney said. "He's not ready for the NHL," Renney said.

It appears to me that Tom Renney has run out of coaching talent - the past two games have shown that the ranges have no plan on what to do out there.
The Rangers were caught with a heavy schedule and injuries/flu at the same time. The Devils game was the closest thing to a guaranteed loss because they were shorthanded on all fronts. They couldn't call anyone up from Hartford because the Wolfpack played on Friday and Saturday. So whoever they would have called up would be playing their 3rd game in 3 nights. Renney was out of options in terms of the lineup for that one.
The hope going forward is that Nylander, Malik and Cullen can come back close to 100% on Tuesday. There's still a need for a dependable asset on the blueline. I think the signing of Aaron Ward was a waste. He doesn't look anything like the steady defenseman he was when he was with Detroit. That said, I don't think Leetch is the answer. That ship has sailed.
