Celebrating their home opener with a revamped MSG Thursday, the Rangers also will unveil an upgrade to their defense.
Michael Sauer, who missed the last five games with a lingering preseason shoulder injury, said he will return to the lineup for the first time since Oct. 8.
"Most definitely. I'm ready to go. I got cleared so I'll be out there for sure," Sauer, 24, said after skating in the team's recently renovated arena for the first time Wednesday.
