Thrashers 17-34(5), 39 pts
Rangers 29-22(4), 62 pts
Tonight is all about Adam Graves. One more magical night of 1994 highlights on Gardenvision. Gravey will probably be the last number up there from that team. Was there any doubt this night was happening before Brian Leetch announced it at his own ceremony a year ago? The Rangers of today would love to have someone like Graves in his prime. Someone with a nose for the net who plays in all situations and who's willing to scrap for his teammates.
Artem Anisimov has been called up from the Hartford Wolfpack and will make his debut tonight, moving Brandon Dubinsky to the wing. We will also see the Rangers debut of Erik Reitz, filling in for Dmitri Kalinin. A bit of a different look for the Blueshirts tonight, in a game they should win.
The Thrashers have a poor record and their marquee player is not even on the line you need to worry about tonight. The Little White Russian has been the top performing line for Atlanta this season, featuring Bryan Little, Todd White and Slava Kozlov.
Smart thing for the Rangers to start the ceremony at 6:30. Things seem to be scheduled a little better this time around. It's the 4th one in the last five seasons, you would hope they'd get it right by now.
