The New York Rangers are three games into the 2017-2018 season, and head coach Alain Vigneault has already tinkered with his lineup. The question is, will he make the right changes?

Against the Montreal Canadiens, the Rangers dressed 11 forwards and seven defenseman. This was likely due to the Rangers letting in eight goals against the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday night.

With many new faces being factored in the equation, it’s up to Alain Vigneault to find the right chemistry needed to steer the Rangers in the right direction. However, with the Metropolitan Division on the rise, if the Rangers don’t make the right changes, it could be too little too late.
