The Rangers are coming off of a shutout of the Seattle Kraken, with Jonathan Quick in the net.
Tonight, we have an idea of what lineup Peter Laviolette will go with, as Quick gets a rest.
Igor Shesterkin will be facing the high-powered Canucks, who need a charge. They lost their last game against the Nashville Predators, 4-1 with Kevin Lankinen in the net.
After the shutout against the Seattle Kraken, it seems doubtful that Laviolettle would want to adjust.
So from what we can gather so far, the only change in the lineup tonight will be Shesterkin in for Quick.
It looks as if the Rangers get a minor facelift as the 1st and 2nd lines are once again switched around. Chris Kreider is on the 2nd line as he was against Seattle, and Artemi Panarin, Vinnie Trocheck, and Alexis Lafreniere remain the same as well.
The K'Andre Miller and Adam Fox pairing remains unchanged, and neither does Lindgren and Trouba's pairing.
He has chosen to let the lines remain status quo, as the Jones and Schneider pairing is one of the best pairs in the Rangers lineup.
