GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Checking in from Rangers practice this morning.

There's a new face on the ice. Forward Artem Anisimov has been recalled from the AHL. Not yet sure whether he'll play in Game 7 tomorrow night, but keep in mind Blair Betts will be out after having his bell rung by Donald Brashear in Game 6.

Sean Avery welcomed the Russian rookie by playfully tackling him to the ice during a drill. (At least we think it was a joke.)

Brashear, meanwhile, has an afternoon hearing with the NHL to answer for his actions in Game 6.
