After a rip-roaring 12–4–1 start to the 2024 season, the New York Rangers are in the midst of a 3–10 skid since mid-November.
In an attempt to try and weather the storm, head coach Peter Laviolette shook up his starting lineup on Sunday and benched 23-year-old winger Kaapo Kakko—who's notched just 14 points through 29 games this season. The move didn't lead to a win, New York fell 3–2 to the St. Louis Blues.
