Here’s something the offensively challenged Rangers didn’t need: Vinny Prospal, who leads the team with 24 assists, could miss up to three weeks following arthroscopic knee surgery yesterday. The Rangers are about to enter the busiest part of their schedule, with twelve games in the next three weeks, and eighteen in the next 33 days. The timing’s not great for Prospal, either: The Czech Olympic hockey roster will be announced tomorrow, and Prospal’s a candidate to make the team. [NorthJersey.com]
