I think injuries will be a number of factors that will effect the Rangers tonight. Marian Gaborik, Chris Drury(finger) and Vinny Prospal are all sidelined. They were responsible for 1/3 of the Rangers goals last year. Chris Mason has not had a season worth bragging about, but when opponents have less than 35 shot attempts, his GAA average drops to 2.05. The Rangers have been averaging 30 SOG per game. Henrik Lundqvist has done well in goal for the Rangers in the last 2 games, but they were against New Jersey and Boston, both in the bottom 5 in converting SOG. He has a 3.99 GA average in the Rangers 3 losses. Atlanta averages 3 goals a game on the road, and has a 25% power play conversion rate.
