Vigneault used the same lines and pairs in practice Thursday as he did in Game 1. He was asked if any of his defensemen were on a short leash with Klein waiting for an opportunity to play. "I'm not sure I would want to call that a short leash," Vigneault said. "But I would say that because we have seven experienced defensemen, and I would say to you to some extent, Kampfer coming in and playing as strong as I felt that he did with his skating ability, it gives us options. And I think in playoffs, depth at all positions is really important and we are fortunate that we have some depth there." … Emelin has not skated and Julien was unable to say if he will be able to return during the series. "It's hard for me to say if he'll be available," Julien said. "He's still day to day. He's better [Thursday], very doubtful for [Friday], and then after that, we'll find out. He may even be on the trip with us so that's why right now I say day to day. He's getting better and to what stage he's at right now, certainly not at the stage to be with us in full practice yet." ... Kampfer and the Rangers agreed to terms on a new contract Thursday. Terms were not disclosed, but TVA Sports reported it was for two years and $1.3 million ($650,000 average annual value).
