They lost 3-2 to the Rangers in their preseason matchup on September 22nd and the team is looking to rebound tonight.
So they have decided to slot in offseason acquisition Nikita Zadarov tonight, who will be paired with Bruins superstar Charlie McAvoy.
Zadarov is known as a defenseman who could be considered a player who fits the identity of "Big Bad Bruin". This means, the Rangers will have to account for him on the ice tonight, if they're to collect a preseason point tonight again.
Not only that, other NHLers like 110+ point winger, David Pastrnak will slot into the lineup tonight, as it seems like the Bruins aren't playing games with the Rangers after one loss.
The Rangers will have to play with some serious attitude, if they're to limit Pastrnak's scoring chances, as a winger who is not only a sniper, but a playmaker as well.
Forwards: Joey Abate, Riley Duran, John Farinacci, Morgan Geekie, Brett Harrison, Tyler Johnson, Mark Kastelic, Cole Koepke, Trevor Kuntar, Marc McLaughlin, David Pastrnak, Matthew Poitras & Pavel Zacha
Defensemen: Drew Bavaro, Michael Callahan, Ryan Mast, Charlie McAvoy, Ian Mitchell, Parker Wotherspoon, Nikita Zadorov
Goalies: Brandon Bussi, Michael DiPietro, Kasimir Kaskisuo
Tyler Johnson will slot in on a PTO with the Bruins as he looks to secure a contract with a contending team, and will need to stay relevant with great players tonight as well.
The Rangers should be able to crack Brandon Bussi if they play with enough skill and speed.
This game just got a lot more competitive and should provide another entertaining Rangers win.
Alex Belzile, Filip Chytil, and Victor Mancini provided offense needs for the Rangers to succeed, and if they want to make the team, should show up once again.
