The Rangers almost have their full team in camp, as all the players that were in Europe arrived Thursday night. NHL.com ranked the top-10 second lines, see where the Artemi Panarin trio landed. A little pump video for the play-in round against the Hurricanes.
Players have been arriving steadily since camp opened. The final group from Europe — Swedes Henrik Lundqvist, Mika Zibanejad and Jesper Fast, Czechs Filip Chytil and Libor Hajek and Finnish rookie Kaapo Kakko — arrived late Thursday. Still not in camp from the main roster are Tony DeAngelo and Ryan Strome, whose wife recently gave birth to their first child. With rosters expected to be 30 skaters, plus unlimited goalies, and Libor Hajek and Vinni Letteri already in cap, others Wolf Pack players potentially to get an invite include Matt Beleskey, Brandon Crawley, Steven Fogarty, Tim Gettinger, Boo Nieves, Danny O'Regan, Darren Raddysh and Ty Ronning.
We all were up in arms that the Chris Kreider-Mika Zibanejad-Pavel Buchnevich line was not on NHL.com's list of top-10 first lines. Today, the site ranked the top-10 second lines. The Panarin-Ryan Strome-Jesper Fast trio was fifth on the list. You could argue that this line could be third on the list behind Edmonton and Washington, but fifth works for me. What about you?
NHL.com ran a little pump up video on the Rangers. The ridiculous stick save by Henrik Lundqvist against Carolina was the first highlight. Second, was the between the legs pass from Kredier to Panarin for the tally versus Montreal. Zib's overtime goal against the Capitals closed out the 30-second video. If all remains as is, training camp officially opens in eight days, can't wait.
