The New York Rangers have their roster set after some tough decisions through training camp and preseason. Eighteen of their twenty veterans that remain on the roster were with the team last year, with the two new obvious standouts being July 1st signings Chris Drury and Scott Gomez.
This year's team sees a few jersey number changes since last season and the preseason. Dan Girardi wore #46 last season and through the preseason, but now wears #5. Ryan Callahan, who wore #43 last season and during preseason, will now wear #24. Marc Staal, who wore #42 for preseason, will now wear #18. Lastly, Blair Betts wore #19 last season, and switched to #15 before training camp so Scott Gomez could take his old number.
The role of backup goaltender was given to Stephen Valiquette while his competitor, Al Montoya, was assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack. Valiquette will back-up the Blueshirts' young, superstar goaltender, Henrik Lundqvist.
At center, the team will see Blair Betts, Scott Gomez, Chris Drury, Ryan Hollweg, and rookie Brandon Dubinsky.
Listed at left wing, they have Brendan Shanahan, and Sean Avery
At right wing, they'll play rookie Ryan Callahan, Colton Orr, and captain Jaromir Jagr.
Their roster lists Petr Prucha, Marcel Hossa, and Martin Straka as non-specific forwards.
Their remaining defensemen are Michal Rozsival, Dan Girardi, Marek Malik, rookie Marc Staal, Thomas Pock, Paul Mara, Jason Strudwick, and Fedor Tyutin.
