Here’s a look at the Rangers’ line combinations for tonight’s game.
Forwards
J.T. Miller - Derek Stepan - Rick Nash
Chris Kreider - Mika Zibanejad - Mats Zuccarello
Jimmy Vesey - Kevin Hayes - Michael Grabner
Brandon Pirri - Oscar Lindberg - Matt Puempel
Pavel Buchnevich was called up from the Hartford Wolf Pack today, which might mean that Grabner is not ready to play after taking a hard check from teammate/defenseman Adam Clendening during practice yesterday. Kreider and Zibanejad are game-time decisions, though are likely to play.
Defense
Marc Staal - Ryan McDonagh
Brendan Smith - Nick Holden
Brady Skjei - Adam Clendening
Dan Girardi is out at least two weeks with a deep gash on his ankle.
