The loss of an all-situations player like Adam Fox naturally impacts the look of several parts of the Rangers\u2019 game, but the power play in particular could be uniquely affected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead of replacing Fox with another defenseman, head coach Peter Laviolette had five forwards skating on the Blueshirts\u2019 first power-play unit in practice Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because J.T. Miller was sidelined for the day due to illness, the top group was made up of Mika Zibanejad, Artemi Panarin, Chris Kreider, Vincent Trocheck and Alexis Lafreni\u00e8re.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt does happen,\u201d Laviolette said of the alignment. \u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of teams that have used five forwards before. We\u2019re just getting a look at it to see what that looked like. It\u2019s good. If it did go that way \u2014 I don\u2019t know that we are or we aren\u2019t, but if it did go that way \u2014 I feel like Mika is somebody who can read positions and read that spot and be able to manage that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s possible Miller would replace either Lafreni\u00e8re or Trocheck on the first unit Friday against the Maple Leafs. <\/p>\n
Regardless, Laviolette sounded comfortable deploying a power play with all forwards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The second unit featured two defenseman in K\u2019Andre Miller and Zac Jones, in addition to Reilly Smith, Jonny Brodzinski and Will Cuylle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prior to Thursday night\u2019s slate of games, the Rangers power play was ranked 19th in the NHL at 21.1. <\/p>\n
Since Jan. 1, however, the Blueshirts have ranked ninth with a 27.7 percentage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Miller, who suffered a lower-body injury against the Islanders, wore a red non-contact jersey during practice Thursday. <\/p>\n
He also took his regular reps next to Will Borgen, indicating he could be good to go Friday night against the Maple Leafs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Additionally, Kreider was a full participant in practice after missing the past two games with an undisclosed upper-body injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReally happy about that, that [Miller] made it out there,\u201d Laviolette said. \u201cKreids, the same thing. We\u2019ll make those decisions tomorrow. It\u2019s just great to have those guys out there \u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Rangers\u2019 47 hits against the Islanders counted as the most in a game since March 9, 2021, at Pittsburgh (58). It marked the fourth-highest hit total in the NHL this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Friday\u2019s game against the Maple Leafs, the Rangers will hold practice on Saturday at MSG Training Center before they continue the homestand against the Predators and Islanders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
