Key takeaways after Rangers make strategic changes to balance lineup

If Saturday’s practice is any indication, there will be changes in all four of the New York Rangers’ forward line combinations against the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome on Sunday night.

Towering forward Matt Rempe will miss his first game of the season, after he sustained an upper-body injury following a first-period fight in a 6-5 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday. With Rempe back in New York, the Rangers recalled 2021 first-round pick (No. 16 overall) Brennan Othmann on Friday, and he’s expected to be in the lineup against Calgary.
