Blue Notes: For Valiquette, start No. 2; Straka returns

Move over, Henrik.
It appears Stephen Valiquette, who won in Toronto on Nov. 10, will be in the cage tonight against the Panthers, according to reports from Florida.
And Martin Straka will return, as predicted, after missing 15 games, on Jagr's line.
So reading the tea leaves, Lundqvist will start on Sunday at home against Dallas, and Ryan Callahan will be back as well.
Greg Moore will sit if Avery's hand is OK (and seems to be). Rozsival (knee), who missed the Tampa game, is expected back as well.
More later...

Seems like a good time to start Valiquette, should be interesting to see how he plays.

Valiquette couldn't possibly have played any better in that 1st period.

That was some awesome stuff.

once again the 4th line is out there for a goal against.

Denis Potvin just said...
"the rangers have 3 short handed goals and Roszival has them both"
Umm, yeah.

Time to put Drury back on that top line with Jags and Straka. He's starting to pick up his game and he's just too good of a player to play on the 3rd line...

Dubinsky has been great, for a rookie. Putting him on the 3rd line with Prucha and Cally is the right move, I think

Dubinsky is on the 3rd line. It just includes JJ on it.

Anybody else notice that Drury scored with 7.7 seconds left in the 1st period? That sounds painfully familiar. Besides Valiquette's outstanding play, Drury scoring a pair was the only bright spot.

I think the other bright spot was another point earned on the road.

Not only that but the situation was similar.... opposing team iced the puck and created a face-off in the defensive zone
