3:12 PM: Gerard Gallant spoke after practice today and said (NYR):

• “Game 7 is huge for us and now we gotta make sure we finish it off tomorrow and play the right way. Gave ourselves an opportunity and worked hard to get back and I think everybody is really excited and a good rest day for most people, going to have a light skate for some of the guys, optional skate. It’s a big game for sure, lot of fun and looking forward to it. Been involved in a few of them over the years and they are fun.”

Gerard Gallant met with the media following the Rangers win in Game 6 and said (MSG, NYR):

• Is the game plan to go down and then come back, (laugh) “It started out like the other two games here, fortunately we found a way to battle back again. It was good, we battled back after that, showed some character in our group and being down 2-0 it wasn’t looking too good in the first.”

The NHL has announced that Game 7 will be at 7PM. (MSG)

The winner of Game 7 will play the winner of tomorrow’s Game 7 between Carolina and Boston.

1:14PM: Gerard Gallant spoke after practice and said (NYR):

• Were you concerned Trouba would hear from the Department of Player Safety, “No, I wasn’t really, from what I saw.”
• What was your view on it, “it was a play in the slot. Obviously, as great a player as Sid is, he does a lot of twisting and turning and spinning away from guys and Trouba went to play the puck and his elbow got up a little high on him but there was no intent. He wasn’t trying to hurt anybody or running people through the glass, that is for sure.”
