Kreider - Zib - Chytil
Panarin - Trocheck - Laf
Roslovic - Wennberg - Kakko
Cuylle - Goodrow - Rempe
Lindgren - Fox
Miller - Schneider
Gus - Trouba
Now it looks like Wheeler is the scratch 🤷♂️
The notice changes being Wheeler is mostly likely going to be a healthy scratch tonight, and also the changes with the D pairs. Miller and Schneider are back together, as are Gustafsson and Trouba.
All directions point to Chytil being back in the lineup as he was on the first line with Zibanejad and Kreider, along with working on the second power play unit.
Chytil working on second power play unit, pretty good indication he'll be back in tonight.
We will keep you updated once the Rangers official lineups are confirmed for tonight.
Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals will be taken place back at Madison Square Garden tonight at 8:00pm.
