Vince Mercogliano of USAToday Sports and Lohud has given us line combinations for Game 5 against the Panthers tonight.

The Rangers will have to figure out how to put the Panthers back into the cage they belong, to before they take off with the series lead, as it is currently tied 2-2.

Sam Reinhart's slapshot ended the hopes of New York pulling ahead, losing 3-2 in overtime.

The Rangers will need an offensive spark tonight as they take on the NHL's toughest team, in the Florida Panthers.

Which is why the 1RW spot hasn't been locked down, as Laviolette is trying to find the right fit for position, as he has cycled through Jack Roslovic, Kaapo Kakko and Filip Chytil through.

The team will need Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider to step up their game, to help regain footing in the series. It seems so short ago that Kreider ended the Hurricanes hopes with a natural-hat trick and now, he's gone scoreless with 5 shots on goal in 4 games.
