As mentioned before a few noticeable changes were expected, and that was correct as Rempe is slotting back into the lineup, replacing Brett Berard.
On the defensive side we will 100% see Zac Jones slotting in for K'Andre Miller as it was confirmed he is confirmed out with illness.
Finally it was also confirmed that Igor Shesterkin will be getting the start in tonight's game as he leads the Rangers on to the ice.
