The New York Rangers remain winless after a loss in a spirited shootout to the Carolina Hurricanes, an 8-5 loss that saw the team’s promising offense break out.
The game was also a notable in the young season as David Quinn put his lines in a blender in the second half of a back-to-back.
Vladislav Namestnikov was reinserted into the lineup, swapping with Cody McLeod again. Somewhat surprisingly, Tony DeAngelo played his first game of the season, in for Vinni Lettieri.
The changes seemed to invigorate the lineup and both players played key roles in goal scoring plays.
