Mike Sullivan confirmed that James Reimer will start for the Rangers tonight against the Kings. "I think we're asking a lot of Dylan [Garand]. He just had seven starts in a row."

James Reimer was the first goalie off the ice at the Rangers’ morning skate.

Rangers on the ice for their optional practice in Tarrytown: Reimer, Šmits, Bjorkstrand, Tolvanen, Raddysh, Glendening, Rempe and Morrow.

Mike Sullivan on the group of Rangers players at the Knicks' ceremony: "It's inspiring when the group has achieved the ultimate success in their respective sport, and I think when it's close to you — these guys, we have lunch with the Knicks a lot, so there's some familiarity."
