Peter Laviolette Frustrated, Addresses Media After Loss
The Rangers went toe-to-toe with the Winnipeg Jets for the first half of the game, but a drop-off in the second period dug the Rangers in too deep a hole they couldn't dig themselves out of which ended up being a 4-2 loss.
The Rangers were playing their seventh game in a span of 11 day, so it could have been the brutal schedule that finally caught up with the team.
Head coach Peter Laviolette still was disappointed and speaks after the Rangers loss:
"I thought the first and the third were good, the second was probably the weakest period we played."
Peter Laviolette also addresses the goal allowed off the Kreider turnover that pretty much sealed the game up:
"We need to be a little bit crisper." But on moving Kreider down in the lineup after that, he said, "It wasn't about a top 6 or bottom 6. We were a little bit flat. Just wanted to change and try something different."
Peter Laviolette does give his input on Chad Ruhwedel's Rangers debut:
"I thought he came in and played steady minutes, good minutes."
The Rangers will next play against the Boston Bruins Thursday.
