The Rangers will have their full complement of top-nine forwards intact, including Chris Kreider, for their Garden clash Thursday with the mighty Bruins.
That means Chris Kreider, sidelined for the past three games with an upper-body issue he sustained on a shoulder-to-shoulder hit with Minnesota’s Marcus Foligno midway through the third period on Jan. 10, will return to his post on the left with Mika Zibanejad in the middle and Kaapo Kakko on the right.
Kreider, whose nine goals at five-on-five are tied with Artemi Panarin for the club lead, and whose 19 overall are second to Mika Zibanejad’s 20, neglected to share what he might have learned through the three contests through which his team scored a total of three goals at five-on-five. “It’s going to be a good test for us, but it’s a test every time we step onto the ice,” Zibanejad said. “To a degree, it’s a game you kind of circle on the calendar, but at the same time, we’re trying to build our game and not necessarily read too much into this one matchup.”Alexis Lafreniere, who has not scored in his past 16 games, will shift back to the third line with Filip Chytil and Barclay Goodrow upon Kreider’s return. This will be the first game for this unit since the season opener.
