Chris Kreider to return tonight against Boston.

Per Vince Mercogliano, the Rangers lineup will have a new top line of Chris Kreider, Mika Zibanejad, and Artemiy Panarin. This is the line that closed out the loss in Anaheim as well.

It sounds like the “second” line of Jimmy Vesey-Vincent Trocheck-Barclay Goodrow may be used as a shutdown line, which would likely make them more of a third line than a second line. The kid line remains the same in this scenario.

The fourth line looks to be a minutes eater and change of pace line, for now. There is no role for them with this current setup.
