GREENBURGH, N.Y. — It’s one game into the season for the Rangers, but coach David Quinn looks ready to make changes following a 3-2 loss to the Nashville Predators on opening night Thursday at Madison Square Garden.
At practice Friday, before the team flew to Buffalo for Saturday’s matchup against the Sabres, Quinn tinkered with his forward lines, putting veteran Cody McLeod, who did not play in the opener, on the fourth line in place of Vladislav Namestnikov. Namestnikov was the extra forward in practice, though Quinn said he hadn’t decided yet whether he would be making the switch or not.
