New York Post, Tuesday, November 8, 2022 nypost.com Gerard Gallant said his
decision to reconstruct the
Rangers’ lines — which in-
cluded dropping Chris Krei-
der to the fourth unit — to
start the third period of the
club’s disappointing 3-2
overtime loss to the Red
Wings on Sunday had been
brewing for some time.

Instead of reverting to the
alignment they’ve stuck to
for a majority of the season,
however, the Rangers head
coach kept some of those
changes and even made
some new tweaks during
practice on Monday in
preparation for the Island-
ers. A lineup shake-up could
not only wake up some key
players, but also lead to a
spark on offense for a team
that has lost six of its last 10
games.
