Tuesday skate update

Raitis Ivanans and Brandon Segal will be back in the lineup tonight, with Peter Harrold and Teddy Purcell expected as the healthy scratches. Terry Murray said defenseman Davis Drewiske is ready to go, but that Murray is hesitant to put him back in the lineup, with the Kings on a winning streak, simply to make “a change for the sake of change.”

Lots of talk about how to carry the momentum of the road trip to home. Olli Jokinen is expected to play for the Rangers tonight, but that’s not official. The Rangers’ morning skate at Staples Center should be taking place right now…
