Missing a couple pieces from his lineup for Monday’s game at the Garden against the L.A. Kings, Rangers coach Gerard Gallant did some shuffling of his lines that included putting his three highest-scoring forwards on the same unit.
The combination of Chris Kreider, Mika Zibanejad and Artemi Panarin lasted little more than a period together before Gallant switched things up, and then switched them up again.
In the end, it was a defenseman who secured the two points for the Rangers, though. Adam Fox scored the winning goal in the shootout to give the Rangers a 3-2 come-from-behind win, their second straight.
