New York Rangers projected lineups for upcoming game against the Utah Hockey Club
The New York Rangers are 20-20-3 and 7th in the Metropolitan Division. They will look to gain more ground tonight after securing one point in the overtime loss to the Colorado Avalanche.
The New York Rangers will have to put together a full 60-minute effort tonight against the Utah Hockey Club if they're to make a run at the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Fortunately for them, spots are still up for grabs and if you recall the 2019 season, the St. Louis Blues came from behind to win the Stanley Cup.
While the Rangers aren't in the same scenario, they should have the same goal: punch above their weight and become the team we've wanted them to be.
Projected Lineups
Tonight the Rangers' healthy scratches are: Jimmy Vesey, Zac Jones and Jonny Brodzinski.
Your 1st line consists of: Artemi Panarin and Alexis Lafreniere centered by Vinnie Troecheck.
Artemi Panarin - Vincent Trocheck - Alexis Lafreniere
Will Cuylle - Mika Zibanejad - Reilly Smith
Chris Kreider - Filip Chytil - Arthur Kaliyev
Adam Edstrom - Sam Carrick - Matt Rempe
Ryan Lindgren - Adam Fox
K'Andre Miller - Will Borgen
Urho Vaakanainen - Braden Schneider
Igor Shesterkin
Jonathan Quick
Scratched: Zac Jones, Jonny Brodzinski, Jimmy Vesey
Peter Laviolette appears happy with the fourth-line efforts lately, as Matt Rempe and Adam Edstrom remain in the lineup.
That line contributed the only two goals against the Avalanche and should maintain their production tonight if they stick to the same principles again.
Create turnovers, crash the net, and score.
Igor Shesterkin will be in the net tonight against Clayton Keller, and the Utah Hockey Club.
