After the Rangers wrapped up practice, there was Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider and Vincent Trocheck lingering out on the ice.
Trocheck said the new group is a “different look.”Advertisement
With no changes to the group, the goal now appears to be adding new layers to what they already have with the man-advantage. In practice on Sunday, Panarin and Zibanejad rotated which faceoff circle they’d post up in. Opponents have gotten used to seeing Zibanejad in the left circle for his deadly one-timer. It could be as simple as not doing what they usually do in order to throw teams off.“It’s just a different look,” Trocheck told The Post after practice.
Trocheck, who is the newcomer on the first unit as Ryan Strome’s replacement, said the first unit just needs to simplify its approach. Putting more pucks on net, executing more effectively and keeping a pulse on what other members of the unit are doing could be key to sparking them offensively.all season, Trocheck said, makes working out the kinks a bit easier.
“It could take literally anything, something as simple as a dirty goal,” he said. “Something off someone’s shin pads and bouncing up over the goalie’s head. It’s just something needs to go in the net. That’s why I think if we simplify it a little bit more and start getting more pucks to the net, eventually one is going to go in.”
Jonny Brodzinski cleared waivers and was subsequently assigned to AHL Hartford on Sunday. He skated in the previous five games, posting six shots on goal.
