The New York Rangers have posted the projected lineup for tonight against the Utah Hockey Club.

The teamswill collide at 7 PM ET tonight, in Madison Square Garden.

Head Coach Peter Laviolette has decided to make some major lineup changes:

Projected Lineup:
Forwards:

Chris Kreider-Mika Zibanejad-Reilly Smith

Artemi Panarin-Vincent Trochek-Alexis Lafrenière

Will Cuylle-Filip Chytil-Kaapo Kakko

Adam Edstrom-Sam Carrick-Matt Rempe

Laviolette has decided to give Matt Rempe a shot at the lineup at home in Madison Square Garden, where the future "Power-Forward" aka Goon, will face off against the Utah Hockey Club.

Out: Jonny Brodzinski, as Adam Edstrom takes his spot on the left wing, and Sam Carrick will center the line.

Defenseman:

K'Andre Miller-Adam Fox

Braden Schneider-Jacob Trouba

Zac Jones-Victor ManciniM

Since Ryan Lindgren is out on IR, along with Chad Ruhwedel out injured as well the Rangers have shifted two-way defenseman, K'Andre Miller, with Adam Fox.

Miller has wheels, a great shot, and physicality that adds depth to the line, that Lindgren couldn't provide. That isn't to say Lindgren's contributions are negligible, but Miller is more than a great replacement for now.

Victor Mancini slots in with rookie Zac Jones, who made the team out of camp again this year.

Mancini will play his 2nd NHL game of his professional career and hopefully be a factor tonight against the Utah HC, who recently beat the New York Islanders, 5-4 in OT play on Thursday.
