The Rangers practiced with a new set of lines today, as they adjust to life without Mats Zuccarello. As expect, St. Louis moves up to the first line, with Fast moving to the third line and Sheppard coming to the fourth line:
Rick Nash-Derick Brassard-Martin St. Louis
Chris Kreider-Derek Stepan-J.T. Miller
Carl Hagelin-Kevin Hayes-Jesper Fast
Tanner Glass-Dominic Moore-James Sheppard
There were adjusted powerplay units as well:
Kreider-Stepan-St. Louis-Brassard-Boyle
Nash-Hayes-Miller-McDonagh-Hunwick
Hunwick was in for Yandle, who will practice tomorrow.
On paper, the Rangers are still a scary team with some solid depth. However, that injury to Zuccarello still hurts.
