Rangers' Anthony Bitetto earns assist after being added to power-play unit

With defensemen Jacob Trouba and K’Andre Miller not playing and therefore unable to man the points on the second power-play unit, Rangers coach David Quinn was forced to change things up. He put Anthony Bitetto on the point for that unit.

And the Island Park native earned an assist on Colin Blackwell’s power-play goal in the second period of the Rangers’ 3-2 shootout victory over the Flyers, the Blueshirts’ first goal with the man advantage in six games.

Bitetto sent a pass to Pavel Buchnevich, whose shot was tipped in by Blackwell for his third goal of the season.
