Rangers summon Brad Richards to help fix faceoff woes

The Rangers brought in reinforcements to correct their faceoff game.

After losing 75.9 percent of their faceoffs in Sunday’s shootout loss to the Panthers, which dropped their faceoff win percentage .476, third-worst in the league, coach David Quinn summoned former Ranger Brad Richards onto the ice for practice Monday.

“We were doing a good job on faceoffs, and [Sunday], we might as well not have even gone into the dot,” Quinn said. “One of those nights. We were 11th in the league at some point, we were kind of really moving forward, and now we’re down to 20-something.
