With three games remaining in the regular season, beginning on Saturday against the Blue Jackets, the Rangers are back in roster-management mode.
Kane did come on the road trip, however, so he could play Saturday.
As important as it is for the Rangers to avoid injuries, they also want to feel good about their game going into the postseason.“Yeah, but you want to play good, too,” Gallant said, when asked if the Rangers just want to get through the rest of the regular season after their 3-2 overtime loss Thursday to the Blues. “There were some signs [Thursday night], not enough, but there were some. We understand, as coaches, you try to push them as far as you can, but there wasn’t much in the tank.
Ryan Lindgren, who is coming off an extended absence with a shoulder injury, was in the middle at 14:15.“Keep them fresh,” Gallant said. Under their current cap situation, the Rangers aren’t able to make any regular recalls from AHL Hartford.They don’t have the same luxury as they did last season, when they were able to rest key players in the final few games.Unless Kane’s injury keeps him out of the lineup for the remainder of the regular season, it’s possible a different player will be scratched in each of the next few games.
The Rangers will enter Saturday with 104 points, the eighth most in franchise history, while their 46 wins are tied for the 10th most. Their 54 points on the road also are the third most in team history.
