Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record reports that Ryan Callahan (foot) and Henrik Lundqvist (flu) participated in this morning’s optional morning skate, while Michael Del Zotto did not.
Tim Erixon, who was recalled this morning, was also on the ice.
…looks like Cally’s good to go. Del Zotto, not so much
…according to reports, Biron come on the ice towards the end of the optional at which time Lundqvist departed meaning that Hank is likely to start tonight.
