The Rangers will have five extra days to prepare for opening night on Oct. 12 in Buffalo, and they will need every single one of them.
One that may take longer than desired.The insufficient offense has appeared to come as no surprise to the Rangers head coach, who adamantly forewarned that he expected a learning curve as the team adjusted to his style.
“There’s work to be done on everything,” Laviolette said after the final exhibition game Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, where the Rangers fell 3-1 to the Bruins and dropped to 1-5 in the preseason. “I mentioned the five-on-five and the offense and having to crank that up. The first part of camp you’re focusing a lot on five-on-five play and not as much on the power play and penalty kill.“I do think the power play gets a little bit of an advantage, hit the post a few times.
“A lot of things have changed system-wise and obviously a lot of changes around here with personnel,” captain Jacob Trouba said. “So it’s good to kind of get comfortable. You’re not going to flip a switch and it’s going to be magic. I think it takes time to build that trust and those reads and where guys are going and the communication is a little bit different. But I think it’s trending in the right direction for us.
The Rangers gave up six power-play goals on 15 short-handed situations, while giving up power-play tallies in four of their six exhibition games.On the flip side, the Rangers scored just one power-play goal this preseason.
