Dan Rosen at NHL.com says while the Rangers are not overlooking tonight’s game against EV Zug, they are eager to get focused on the season-opener on Friday against Los Angeles in Stockholm, Sweden…
“I think we’ve really got to try to use (tonight’s) game to be a little bit quicker in the things we do, but with respect to the players there is a lot of things that go into it,” Tortorella said. “With a big rink it’s just a different game, it really is. We’re going to try to do the best we can to prepare. That’s why I’m really looking forward to the two practice days we have. I think that’s going to be an important part toward the end of this camp.”
Here’s Henrik Lundqvist on getting to Stockholm…
“I have to have a good week with some hard practice to work on all the details,” Lundqvist said. “It’s important to get a good week in with some solid practice, and to rest up a little bit. It’s been a busy schedule the last couple of days. When we get to Stockholm we’re going to take a deep breath and then have Wednesday and Thursday to really work on all things to get ready.”
The Rangers will have off tomorrow then practice Wednesday and Thursday.

…i’m sure these guys are more than ready to get into some kind of routine heading into the season opener. Having three straight days in the same city should have them better prepared for Friday.
Quick note: Marty Biron gets the start today with Scott Stajcer as the backup.
