I haven't been able to find any official sources explaining why he is out, but it likely is a result of being run into a couple times during Saturday's game against the Leafs. He likely tweaked something and the coaches are being cautious with him.

Yup Sharks are in a good spot tonight since King Henrik is out.

Didn't the Valiquette post a shutout in his only other start of the season? Rangers could win even without Lundquist

He is an above average backup for sure and yeah he did post a SO.

[xraygord]

Thanks again DG.

Even with the backup in goal, have to stay with the hot team. Rangers have won their 4 home games by at least 2 goals.

Law of averages. Can't win 'em all. Had a feeling Sharks would light up Valiquette.
