Some major controversy has just sparked from the New York Rangers practice on Thursday morning as it appears that a key member of the lineup will be scratched for Friday night's game against the Detroit Red Wings.
On Thursday morning the Rangers hit the ice for their practice, which is when a few rink side reporters notice that Mike Sullivan has decided to make some unexpected changes to the Rangers lineup.
According to Vince Z. Mercogliano of the Athletic, it appears that forward Adam Edstrom will be scratched from the Rangers lineup ahead of their game on Friday against the Red Wings, as the rushes from the morning practice see's Jaroslav Chmelar slot in on the fourth line.
First look at #NYR lines indicates that Adam Edström may be a scratch in Detroit:
Panarin - Zibanejad - Raddysh
Cuylle - Miller - Lafrenière
Sheary - Laba - Brodzinski
Pärssinen - Carrick - Chmelař
Panarin - Zibanejad - Raddysh
Cuylle - Miller - Lafrenière

Pärssinen - Carrick - Chmelař
Something that has sparked major controversy among fans as Adam Edstrom has been an absolute beast on the fourth line throughout the Rangers last 14 games this season, and has even tallied two assists.
Certainly a very questionable move by Mike Sullivan. However, there just might be reasoning behind this that is yet to known, so make sure to stay tuned as updates are sure to follow from the Rangers practice.
