The New York Rangers are making some lineup changes for the second game of the season

We called the New York Rangers a work in progress and they clearly are. Without any preseason games to see how the new lines would work, it took all of one game for David Quinn to start moving players around. In the biggest move, Alexis Lafrenière looks like he will be moved to the right side with Artemi Panarin and Ryan Strome and Kaapo Kakko will be on a newly reconfigured third line with Filip Chytil and Phil Di Giuseppe.
