Will Cuylle didn’t get a second of power-play ice time by way of the Rangers’ pair of man benefits and Will Cuylle didn’t get on the ice after Igor Shesterkin was pulled late in Monday’s 2-1 Backyard defeat to the last-overall Blackhawks.
However Mika Zibanejad bought 2:37 on the ability play and Mika Zibanejad was one of many six on the ice for the ultimate 2:09 wherein the Blueshirts recorded one shot on web and had three makes an attempt blocked, two of them by No. 93.
There isn’t any intention to make Zibanejad a scapegoat, but when the Rangers anticipate issues to vary, if Peter Laviolette expects issues to vary from his perch behind the bench, then the pinnacle coach may wish to do one thing in another way.
For it’s time — effectively previous time, truly — for Laviolette to distribute ice time wholly on advantage and never on popularity. By the way in which, it was Cuylle who scored his group’s lone purpose — and shorthanded, don’t you already know — by going to the slot to bury a rebound after PK-partner Sam Carrick drove to the web and compelled Arvid Soderstrom to make a pad save.
