In about a half hour, Atlantic Division rivals renew acquaintances when the Rangers battle the Devils at the Prudential Center.

This is a short but sweet post as I am heading out to cover the men’s hockey game here for my newspaper. Marek Malik is out tonight with a knee contusion suffered last night. Paul Mara is back in on defense. The line combinations remain the same, but Henrik Lundqvist will be between the pipes for the Rangers.

Marcel Hossa was placed on IR, so expect the Rangers to call up Ryan Callahan before the Montreal game.

I’ll watch the game tonight and check in after. Enjoy the battle.
