One of the most hyped New York Rangers’ games of the 2025-26 season, just added a couple more juicy subplots.
As if the return of Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba to Madison Square Garden with the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night isn’t enough, a couple major lineup decisions by the Rangers could steal the thunder of the duel homecoming.
Mika Zibanejad is a healthy scratch for the Rangers because he missed a team meeting. Some might joke that the 32-year-old forward simply couldn’t stand the thought of actually playing against his BFF, Kreider, whom the Rangers traded to the Ducks this past offseason.
