Taking a quick look at the New York Rangers' projected lineups for their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon, as head coach Mike Sullivan confirms who will start in nets.
Considering the New York Rangers are playing a back-to-back game today, as they faced off against the Boston Bruins on Friday afternoon, it's very possible that Mike Sullivan will run the same lines from that game.
With that being said, the Rangers did receive a very positive update on defenseman Will Borgen, as he has officially returned from Injured Reserve after being sidelined with an upper-body injury for over a week. However, Mike Sullivan has also confirmed that he will be a game-time decision, so there's still a good chance that he might not return to the lineup today.

Regardless if Borgen plays or not, this is still a very positive update on his status for at least the Rangers next game on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars.
