The Rangers held a late practice today at the MSG Training Center. During the session Vitali Kravtsov was working with the fourth line and rotating with Colin Blackwell. This is a clear indication that he will not be debuting in Buffalo tomorrow night.
New York Rangers practice notes
Before people start panicking or screaming at their smartphones (and yes I realize it may already be too late), Kravtsov is not going to debut on the 4th line. David Quinn and the organization have said repeatedly they will not rush him and want to give him a few practices with the team before jumping in.
