It looks like Colton Orr will be back in the Rangers lineup tonight after missing the entire Devils series with a broken foot. To make room for Orr, Ryan Hollweg seems the likely scratch along with Malik, Strudwick and Prucha. That would put Orr on the Blair Betts-Fredrik Sjostrom line.
In other news, Gary Roberts is out for Pittsburgh. He had missed Games 3 and 4 of the Pens' first-round series against Ottawa with a groin injury. Former Ranger Adam Hall will skate in his place.
Sid the Kid had this to say about diving: "I don't dive. I never dive. The only way I'm going down is if I'm forced down."
We'll see tonight...

Zipay, have you interviewed Prucha yet?
I hate watching Penguins. I was hoping to play against Canadiens who are one of the best and most physical teams. Penguins for the most part are going to be a lot less physical than even the Devils.
Sidney says he never dives? Well then, I guess he doesn't. After all, he says he got hit with a high stick when everyone else noted his head-jerking embellishment act, but he was allowed to "correct" Pierre McGuire on national television. Of course, if this is true, why did he find it necessary to tell everyone that he doesn't dive? Interesting.
Zipay,
If you do speak with Prucha, can you please ask him to work this summer on his ability to avoid getting hit and when he does, not to be completely annihilated every time it happens.
thanks man
yeah... Prucha needs to learn to stay on his feet, he's sprawling around like Bambi on the ice half the time
Too much attention is being paid to the Crosby diving stuff and the Rangers running the goalie garbage. Let's drop the puck and see what happens!
LGR!
Prucha actually avoids most of the hits. It is not his fault many want to hit him. Only thing he needs to improve on is controlling and protecting the puck. And that is not really fair to Prucha, why are Straka and Jagr getting a ton of icetime when they never bother to hit? If Pruucha got 20 minutes a game including PP time entire season his numbers would skyrocket.
bob,
you are so dumb, you make 'Mater from the movie Cars look like Einstein
