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 definitely sounds like we'll see a top line of Kreider, Zib and Panarin, with 10 at RW.

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.
