There's been no mention of an injury, so it appears as though Namestnikov will sit as a healthy scratch against Buffalo. If that is indeed the case, it's a bit of a perplexing move by New York's coaching staff, as the Rangers just inked the Russian forward to a two-year, $8 million contract this offseason after he racked up 22 goals and 48 points in 79 games last campaign. New head coach David Quinn may simply be trying to send a message to his team that no one's spot in the lineup is guaranteed, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Namestnikov back in action Sunday against Carolina.
