Pat Leonard Botte filling in for Pat today, Sean Avery on the ice at Rangers practice. All is right in the world.

…yes it is Pat, yes it is.

Dan Rosen at NHL.com adds that Avery is the extra forward during line drills.

…sounds like a healthy scratch for Avery tomorrow night to me. Which I wouldn’t be against. Team played real well Monday night. If it’s not broke don’t fix it.
