The New York Rangers will need a whole lot more from Vincent Trocheck and Artemi Panarin if they hope to surpass their run to the Eastern Conference Final last season.
After the Rangers dropped a 3-1 decision to the Boston Bruins on Thursday night, head coach Gerard Gallant was asked about changing his lines again. In particular, moving Jimmy Vesey up to the second line and dropping Vitali Kravtsov down.
“I’ve talked about our second line all year long playing harder defensively and not giving up the odd man rushes,” Gallant stated.
