It was announced Friday afternoon that defenseman K'Andre Miller would be returning to the Rangers lineup and veteran Chad Ruhwedel would return to the Hartford Wolf Pack.
Ruhwedel to Hartford means K'Andre Miller, who missed six games with an upper body injury, is coming off injured reserve and rejoining the active roster. #NYR
Along with that, it was confirmed by Peter Laviolette that Miller will be paired with Will Borgen.
The other noticeable difference, is that Zac Jones will not be in the lineup and will be a healthy scratch.

And finally, according to recent reports it will be Igor Shesterkin who will get the start in nets tonight as he was the first goalie off the ice today during the teams practice.
