The understood theme about this Rangers season is change.
So, even after a wild, 6-4 season-opening win Thursday night, the team returned to its Tarrytown training center Friday to find a coach who was not enamored with the way his club performed.
The Rangers will embark on their first road trip this season with new defense pairings Saturday night in Ottawa. The Jacob Trouba-Brady Skjei pairing has been split up, as Trouba will skate with Libor Hajek while Skjei will be partnered with rookie Adam Fox.
