Red Wings facing depleted Rangers squad with playoffs at stake

Everything's coming up Red Wings.

Detroit, in a win-and-you're-in situation Saturday against New York, will face a Rangers team missing a number of regulars - including Henrik Lundqvist. Backup Antti Raanta gets the start, head coach Alain Vigneault announced.

The Rangers will also be without forwards Mats Zuccarello and Viktor Stalberg, who are dealing with lower-body injuries. Both should be fine for the playoffs, Vigneault said, according to the New York Daily News' Justin Tasch.

Defenseman Dan Girardi, day to day with what's believed to be a concussion, will not play Saturday, but Vigneault expects him to be ready for Game 1 of the playoffs, too. He missed Thursday's game after being hurt Tuesday.

Captain Ryan McDonagh was already ruled out for the regular-season finale. He remains day to day with a hand injury, and his status for Game 1 is up in the air.
