Peter Laviolette Making Changes To Lineups Ahead Of Game Tonight
The Rangers will be facing off against the L.A. Kings later tonight and head coach Peter Laviolette has made a change at the bottom six.
Nick Bonino will be a healthy scratch tonight, in favor of Tyler Pitlick.
Peter Laviolette speaks on adding Pitlick:
"The last time we played [the Kings], he played with Goodrow & Vesey & they did a really good job handling some tough minutes & D-zone starts. He's been healthy. I don't want anybody sitting too long, so he gets a chance to come back in."
Peter Laviolette on scratching Nick Bonino:
"We talked this morning. It's never easy. Not a great part of the job, telling good people that care that they're not part of the 12 tonight. That's always tough. Decisions have to be made when it comes to the lineup."
The Rangers will also be down Erik Gustafsson with Zac Jones taking his place.
