Honestly quite the unexpected move by Peter Laviolette has he has made New York Rangers newly acquired forward Juuso Parssinen a healthy scratch tonight over a few veterans.
#NYR lines. Juuso Pärssinen appears to be a scratch.
Juuso Parssinen and Calvin de Haan were acquired in a trade when the New York Rangers traded defenseman Ryan Lindgren and forward Jimmy Vesey to the Colorado Avalanche before the NHL Trade deadline.
Juuso has played four games with the Rangers since the trade and has yet to tally a single point. However, he has made his presence known with his speed and for sticking up for his new teams which resulted in a fight.
Hopefully this was the right move by Laviolette as the New York Rangers desperately need these two points tonight's to remain in the playoff wild card position.
Do you think Peter Laviolette made the right choice by healthy scratching Jusso Parssinen? Let us know in the poll down below.
