Alain Vigneault is shuffling the lines a bit for tomorrow’s showdown with the Islanders, and will be dressing Tanner Glass on the fourth line over James Sheppard. Sheppard had been used with Dominic Moore and Jesper Fast as the 4LW, providing some much needed defensive stability to a fourth line that really needed a defensively solid LW.
It is likely that AV is worried about Matt Martin running around, and the potential need to drop the gloves. But honestly, you can’t’ hit what you can’t catch, and Martin can’t skate. Let him run around and try to hit someone. He will miss, and the Rangers will take advantage.
