Rangers have only scored 13 in last 7 games..
The struggling Leclaire went 2-3-1 with a 3.55 goals-against average in his last seven starts. As a result, Brian Elliott (2-1-1, 3.20 GAA) is expected to start Saturday.
Elliott made 25 saves in a 2-0 home loss against the Rangers on Jan. 10, his only career start versus New York.
Henrik Lundqvist didn't play well Thursday, his first game back after missing two with a lower-body injury, but could be much better Saturday. He went 4-2-0 with a 1.66 GAA in his last six starts versus Ottawa.
