Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette has also been impressed with how Cuylle has been playing and feels the 22-year old forward earned this opportunity.
«He's had a really strong start to his year. I do see him as somebody who is probably eventually going to be a regular on a power-play unit, but we've got guys who have been there and those decisions are tough to make. He should get some time tonight out there."
Throughout the Rangers first 15 games of the season, the 22-year old had managed to tally five goals, six assists for a total 11 points so far, while averaging 13:42 minutes per game.
