"Per Vince Mercogliano, the Rangers lines tonight will have a few more NHLers than in their win over the Devils, notably with Will Cuylle, Adam Fox, Vlad Gavrikov, and Igor Shesterkin. This will be our first look at the expected top pair of Gavrikov and Fox, and they will get their All-World starter in net for a portion of the game as well."
"What's interesting about these lines is Othmann on a line with players headed to the AHL. Othmann is supposed to have one of the inside tracks to a roster spot, but after a poor showing over the weekend, he now has some work to do. The Dorrington-Morrow pair is worth a watch as well, with Morrow expected to break camp with the Rangers and Dorrington moving up the depth charts quickly."
The Rangers will dress more established NHL players tonight, including Will Cuylle, Adam Fox, Vlad Gavrikov, and starter Igor Shesterkin. The expected top defensive pair of Gavrikov and Fox will play together, and Shesterkin will take part of the game in net. Forward lines mix prospects and AHL-call candidates: Will Cuylle–Jusso Pärssinen–Gabe Perreault; Brennan Othmann–Justin Dowling–Brendan Brisson; Brett Berard–Noah Laba–Andrew Fix–Wolansky; Adam Sýkora–Sam Carrick–Jaro Chmelar. Defensive groupings are Gavrikov–Fox, Matthew Robertson–Andrej Sustr, and Jackson Dorrington–Scott Morrow. Othmann landed on a line with players headed to the AHL after a poor weekend showing and must rebound. Morrow is expected to break camp while Dorrington continues rising on the depth chart.
