Moving Vladimir Tarasenko to the top line with Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad paid off for the Rangers in their 5-2 Game 6 win over the Devils.
Vladimir Tarasenko appeared to be the crux of head coach Gerard Gallant’s reason for switching up the Rangers’ line combinations and power-play personnel ahead of Game 6 of their first-round playoff series against the Devils at the Garden.
After recording the secondary assist on Mika Zibanejad’s 2-1 score in the second period, Tarasenko netted a dagger at the end of the middle frame with a snipe from the high slot. In 8:04 of ice time together in the win, the Rangers’ first unit was on the ice for two goals and zero against, while holding a 2-0 edge in high-danger chances, according to Natural Stat Trick.USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con
