Veteran winger Martin St. Louis was the only member of the New York Rangers not at practice Friday. He went back to his native Montreal to attend the wake of his mother, France, who died on May 8. He'll be on the ice today in Montreal for the opener of the Rangers' Eastern- Conference final series against the Habs. The funeral is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, and the whole Rangers team is planning on attending. Under the request of St. Louis, all services are going to be private.
