NY Rangers Game 17 Open topic: Rangers vs Nashville

The Rangers are frustrating, aren’t they? They can’t score. They can’t win at home. But they play defense and generally have a good process. The team just can’t put the puck in the net.

But reinforcements have arrived. Vincent Trocheck returns tonight. Gabe Perreault has been recalled and is in the top six. Will Cuylle and Taylor Raddysh now join Noah Laba to form a nice third line. Conor Sheary is on the fourth line where he belongs. This is the best the Rangers lines have looked this season.

Nashville is not good. Then again, neither are the Islanders and just gave the Rangers a drubbing. But with the reinforcements, this might be the jolt the Rangers need. Are the floodgates opening?
