Per Vince Mercogliano, the Rangers lines today will consist mostly of kids and AHL guys today against the New Jersey Devils. Notable NHLers in the lineup today are Jonathan Quick, Juuso Parssinen, Taylor Raddysh, Jonny Brodzinski, Will Borgen, and Urho Vaakanainen. Everyone else is either AHL bound or in a deep competition for a roster spot. Gabe Perreault, Noah Laba, and Brennan Othmann will play today and will probably be the Rangers top scoring line for the game.

Rangers lines today

F: Nathan Aspinall, Anton Blidh, Jonny Brodzinski, Justin Dowling, Noah Laba, Brennan Othmann, Juuso Parssinen, Gabe Perreault, Taylor Raddysh, Matt Rempe, Dylan Roobroeck, Conor Sheary

D: Will Borgen, Casey Fitzgerald, Connor Mackey, Case McCarthy, Scott Morrow, Derrick Pouliot, Urho Vaakanainen

G: Jonathan Quick, Dylan Garand

We will likely see Perreault-Laba-Othmann as one of the top lines. Expect to see Parssinen and Raddysh together too as a potential shutdown line duo. Personally I’d love to see both Rempe and Roobroeck on a line together just to see what the Devils do against two literal giants.

On defense, I wonder if we will see Morrow play on his off-side, perhaps with Borgen. Morrow is a solid puck mover and shifting to his off-side would put him at a better angle to move the puck up the ice, though with some risk. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Vaakanainen and Borgen get some minutes together too, just to see where Vaakanainen stands with the coaching staff.

Dylan Garand will be fun to watch today as well.
