Waiver pickup Jake Leschyshyn is expected to make his Rangers debut at Madison Square Garden on Sunday against the Canadiens.
into the middle of the fourth line between Blais and Jonny Brodzinski, who will switch to the wing. The game will be No. 64 of his NHL career.
“We talked to him and showed him our system tape, like everybody does when new guys come in,” Gerard Gallant said of Leschyshyn, with whom the Rangers head coach spent some time during training camps during his tenure with Vegas. “But he played a lot of the same systems in Vegas, you know, [Golden Knights head coach Bruce] Cassidy’s defensive zone system and stuff like that. It’s not a big adjustment. Just getting to know new players and new linemates.
All three players, however, are expected to play Sunday. If one or more of them aren’t able to go, the Rangers will either have to dress Libor Hajek as the seventh defenseman or recall someone from AHL Hartford. If they do have to recall someone from Hartford, the Rangers would have to put either Kreider or Gauthier on injured reserve, which would count them out for the game Monday at Columbus.
“They all play through it,” Gallant said of the players who are sick. “We’ve been doing it the last week and a half or so. Hopefully, it doesn’t get to the point where they can’t [play].”The Rangers’ three-game home stand will come to an end on Sunday after their second game of the season against Montreal.
