Peter Laviolette Expected To Discipline An Unexpected New York Rangers Forward

Earlier in the season, the New York Rangers made a surprising move and claimed Arthur Kaliyev off of waivers from the L.A. Kings.

Since being claimed off of waivers Kaliyev has appeared in 10 games, in those games he has two goals, and one assist for three points while being a plus-2 on the season.

Although he hasn't really performed offensively for the Rangers, it's safe to say that he has been a good pickup by Chris Drury, especially considering the Rangers didn't have to give up anything to acquire him.

It seems that Peter Laviolette isn't too happy with his game, and is expected to discipline him in their upcoming game against the Boston Bruins on Saturday.

At practice this morning it was announced that Kaliyev was not taking part in line rushes, indicating that he is set to be a healthy scratch against the Bruins.

Take a look:

According to Denis P. Gorman, Vesey and Jones may also be a healthy scratch for their game against the Bruins.

The only change expected to take place before their game on Saturday against the Bruins is Brodzinski slotting in for Kaliyev.
