Peter Laviolette is the New York Rangers’ third coach in four seasons. His arrival in the offseason brought in another new system, a new philosophy, and new coaching style. However, the championship expectations remain the same. And Laviolette, who led Carolina to the Stanley Cup championship in 2006, knows how he wants the Rangers to play as they pursue their first Stanley Cup championship since 1994 — by pushing the puck and playing with speed. It’s a change that has been welcomed and embraced

Greer watches during the second period of an NHL preseason hockey game Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023, in New York.

I think that is good for us. ... There’s some adjustments for sure.
Forward Vincent Trocheck agreed, adding: “We believe that we have the ability to be a team that can contend for the Stanley Cup. ... We know how awful it was last year. We’re coming in to try to make a really long push.” He’s also been mixing up the lines and defensive pairings during training camp and preseason games.

Longtime linemates Kreider and Zibanejad will likely be separated as well.
