The Rangers will be without Kaapo Kakko (COVID) and Artemi Panarin (leave of absence) for tomorrow’s game against the Flyers. Naturally David Quinn did need to change the lines. The new lines don’t really scare anyone.
Today's #NYR practice lineup:
Laf – Mika – Buch
Kreider – Strome – Blackwell
Lemieux – Howden – Gauthier
PDG – Rooney – BrodzinskiLindgren – Fox
Miller – Smith
Bitetto – Hájek(Johnson is rotating in on the bottom pair.)

As expected, Jonny Brodzinski is going to be the call up. For financial reasons, this won’t be announced until tomorrow 5pm.
Obviously the powerplay needed to change up as well.
Power play work now.
PP1 = Fox, Mika, Blackwell, Strome and Kreider
PP2 = Miller, Bitetto, Laf, Buch and Lemieux
(You could say Bitetto is a bit of a surprise…) #NYR

If there ever was a time for Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider to step it up, that time is now.
