"The New York Rangers lines tonight in Vancouver are getting another shakeup, with Juuso Parssinen and Urho Vaakanainen drawing back in for Brennan Othmann and Matthew Robertson, respectively. Robertson has certainly struggled after his one strong game, but he's been struggling mightily and has been on the ice for a bunch of goals against lately. Othmann didn't look good in Calgary (no one did), so he sits after one game for Parssinen."
"The Rangers are certainly struggling out of the gate, playing inconsistent hockey and struggling to score. Though their 5v5 process is mostly (note: not always, mostly) good and they are (again, mostly) controlling play, they can't finish, their mistakes are winding up in the back of the net, and the goaltending came back down to Earth after a .985 SV% to start the season."
The New York Rangers made lineup changes in Vancouver, inserting Juuso Parssinen and Urho Vaakanainen for Brennan Othmann and Matthew Robertson. Robertson has struggled since one strong game and has been on the ice for multiple goals against, while Othmann was benched after a poor showing in Calgary. The team is inconsistent early, producing limited scoring despite generally solid 5v5 process and mostly controlling play. Finishing chances remain a problem, mistakes are leading to goals against, and goaltending regressed from an initial .985 save percentage. The roster needs time to adjust amid fan frustration.
