The New York Rangers will see some familiar faces when they take the ice against the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center on Monday night in the opener of a three-game California road trip.
The Ducks, who’ve won three in a row after losing nine straight games, are a second home for ex-Rangers. Center Ryan Strome and defenseman Jacob Trouba will face their former teammates, but forward Frank Vatrano is out with a broken shoulder.
Forward Chris Kreider, traded by the Rangers to Anaheim in June, missed the Ducks’ two-game weekend sweep of the archrival Los Angeles Kings with an illness but said before the morning skate that he’s good to go.
