This is the first time in his career Gaborik has had a real #1 Center him.
Gabby was given free reigns by the Chi defense. He's not getting that same pass against the Rangers.
To answer the posters asking what Gabby knows, how to score 5 goals against Lundqvist would be for starters.
In all seriousness though the Kings have little experience against the Rangers and Gabby will give them a decent scouting report on each Ranger. Things you may not even think of, like what sets certain players off and such.
So he has 3 remaining, correct?
So he'd be eligible to return in Game 4?
That's nice, he might get his name on the Cup then, if he plays in the Finals (and we win, duh), right?
(only players that were dressed in the Final series get their names engraved on the Cup, right?)

except this is AV's Rangers and not Tort's Rangers so he might have personnel reports but Carcillo played with the Kings THIS season so you know... anything you can do we can do better.
This is a very good thing. Miller is hurt, Carcillo has experience playing in high pressure NHL games. They will need the depth most likely before the series is over.
he is only going to be eligible for the final game of the series. I doubt he gets in.
I believe he can play after Game 4. 3 more possible games of an extra experienced fresh set of legs
