Rangers lines tonight: No changes, Rempe still in

As expected, there will be no change to the New York Rangers lines tonight, per Mollie Walker. The Rangers dominated the Washington Capitals on Sunday, cruising to a 4-1 win. Given the overall dominance and contributions from the bottom six, changes were unlikely for the Rangers lines tonight.

This also means no changes to the defense pairs. The Braden Schneider and Jacob Trouba swap will stay intact, and given how the defense has played since the swap, it doesn’t look like they will be swapped back any time soon.

It’s fair to expect the same matchups that worked so well in Game 1 as the Rangers look to take a big 2-0 lead on the series.
