Rangers vs. Coyotes Open Game Thread
The New York Rangers (14-13-3, 31 points) have been off since Monday, and they should be very fresh against an Arizona Coyotes (13-15-2, 28 points) squad that played on Thursday vs. the Buffalo Sabres.
Arizona has lost four games in a row, and the Rangers are looking to rebound from a 6-3 loss at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Blueshirts are getting some much needed help with the return of Pavel Buchnevich and Mats Zuccarello to the lineup, and here are the projected lines.
New York Rangers
Filip Chytil — Mika Zibanejad — Mats Zuccarello
Chris Kreider — Kevin Hayes — Pavel Buchnevich
Vladislav Namestnikov — Brett Howden — Jesper Fast
Jimmy Vesey — Ryan Strome — Matt Beleskey
Marc Staal — Neal Pionk
Brady Skjei — Tony DeAngelo
Fredrik Claesson — Brendan Smith
