New York Rangers Arthur Kaliyev Fires Back At Peter Laviolette After Being Disciplined By Him

Yesterday it was revealed that New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette was expected to discipline an unexpected forward following an announcement.

The New York Rangers went out earlier in the season and claimed Arthur Kaliyev off of waivers from the L.A. Kings.

Since being claimed off of waivers Kaliyev has appeared in 10 games, in those games he has two goals, and one assist for three points while being a plus-2 on the season.

Although he hasn't really performed offensively for the Rangers, it's safe to say that he has been a good pickup by Chris Drury, especially considering the Rangers didn't have to give up anything to acquire him.

It seems that Peter Laviolette isn't too happy with his game, and is expected to discipline him in their upcoming game against the Boston Bruins on Saturday.

At practice yesterday morning it was announced that Kaliyev was not taking part in line rushes, indicating that he is set to be a healthy scratch against the Bruins.

Take a look:

This morning the New York Rangers held an optional skate, and Arthur Kaliyev fired back at head coach Peter Laviolette regarding him possibly being a healthy scratch for their upcoming game against the Boston Bruins.

Following practice, Kaliyev spoke with the media about the possibility of him being a healthy scratch tomorrow and stated that even if he is, he is going to work hard, practicing, and get himself ready for whenever he is put back into the lineup.

Take a look:

It's unclear what the Rangers are going to do ahead of their game against the Boston Bruins, but Kaliyev isn't going to take it to heart if he is a healthy scratch this weekend.
