Game #2: New York Islanders vs New York Rangers Open Thread

After sleepwalking through the season opener en route to a 4-0 defeat against the Islanders two nights ago, the Rangers will get another chance to defeat their divisional rivals. Coach David Quinn has opted for a major shakeup in forward lines and defensive combinations:

Correction on those lines...

Kreider - Mika - Buch
Panarin - Strome - Laf
PDG - Chytil - Kakko
Lemieux - Howden - Gauthier

Looks like Lafrenière may be moving into the top 6 at RW. #NYR https://t.co/pNCF4mPXEx— Vince Z. Mercogliano (@vzmercogliano) January 15, 2021

While the top forward line remains unchanged, the rest of the lineup has been put into the blender.
