After a 3-1 loss in Los Angeles on 12/10, two key forward changes that are still active today in the lineup were made by David Quinn and David Oliver. First, Chytil moved off the wing and back to 3C. Second, Kreider-Zibanejad-Buchnevich was reunited. NYR went out on 12/12 in San Jose and had one of their better results of the year, posting a 59% Corsi and a 55% Expected Goals For rating at 5v5 in route to winning the game 6-3. While other changes had previously been made because of injury or coaches’ decision around the whole lineup, these changes paved the way to some of the best NYR play of the entire season.
