After Sunday night’s loss to Columbus, Rangers Twitter was ablaze with talks around what in the world is going on with Pavel Buchnevich.
This was a direct reaction to David Quinn moving Buchnevich from the top line to the fourth during play against the Blue Jackets and playing Brendan Lemieux in his slot.
This dry spell for Buchnevich and subsequent demotion certainly generated some talk, and with good reason. Prior to the game Tuesday night, Buchnevich had recorded seven goals and 18 assists for 25 points in his 47 games played and just one goal and four points in his last 13.
