The Rangers opened the Traverse City Prospects Tournament last night with a 7-5 loss to Dallas.
The standout performance for the Rangers, in my eyes, was 2018 trading deadline acquisition Brett Howden. Collectively, his line with Ty Ronning and Tim Gettinger worked very well, moving the puck as a unit. Here’s one example of a rush combination play between him (#48) and Ty Ronning (#59).
But while the three worked well together, Howden was clearly the driver of the line. This great setup off the rush to Tim Gettinger (#97) perfectly encapsulates that theme.
