Update: Brian Boyle and Derek Dorsett are in. Kris Newbury and Chris Kreider are out.

OP: Well, the Rangers dropped Game One, but still have the opportunity to split the first two with a win tonight. There are rumors that some of the injured Rangers will be back tonight, and if all of them return, then the entire atmosphere changes. Marc Staal is the biggest missing link, but the Rangers PK desperately needs Brian Boyle back, and the way the Rangers were dominated physically shows they need Ryane Clowe and Derek Dorsett back as well.
