Peter Laviolette has continued tinkering with the latest Rangers lines, and this time with a pair of moves that will surely get him on everyone’s good graces. Kaapo Kakko was on a line with Filip Chytil and Artemi Panarin, on the apparent second line, with Alexis Lafreniere playing on the top line with Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. Naturally, most folks were pretty happy with these moves.
Not to be forgotten, Will Cuylle was on a line with Vincent Trocheck and Blake Wheeler in what looked like the third line.
