It’s been just two days of training camp, and we’ve seen two different looks at the Rangers lines. Both Blake Wheeler and Alexis Lafreniere were given looks on the top line, albeit with different center/LW combos, and we don’t know which way he will lean yet. What we do know is that he will continue to experiment with the lines until he finds not only what the final lineup will be, but what his backup lines will be if and when injuries occur.
Laviolette’s lineup tinkering with the Rangers was wholly expected to start camp.
