Projected Lineups: New York Rangers Forced To Make Defensive Changes Ahead Of Game Against The Hurricanes

Based of the New York Rangers practice on Monday morning, Mike Sullivan has decided to keep the exact same lines that the Rangers finished their four-game road trip, but due to another unfortunate injury we will see a change in the defensive pairs.

As on Tuesday moring, the Rangers and head coach Mike Sullivan confirmed that defenseman Urho Vaakanainen had sustained a lower-body injury and will be sidelined day-to-day, which has resulted in defensive prospect Matthew Robertson to slot back into the lineup.

However, here's a look at the Rangers projected lineups against the Hurricanes, as we see a sight change in defensive pairs.

It makes complete sense for Mike Sullivan to keep the Rangers lines the same as they are, as they are currently on a three-game winning streak. However, hopefully they can secure another victory on Tuesday to extend that streak, along with recording their first win at Madison Square Garden as they are currently 0-4-1 on home ice.
