Adam Edstrom turning his Rangers ‘wake-up call’ into on-ice results
NY Post
It all looked different from above.
From high in Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, Adam Edstrom was turned into a spectator last week, watching his teammates as a healthy scratch for the first time this season.
It had been more than a month since the fourth-line center had produced a point. It had been 15 games — and more than 160 minutes of ice time — since he’d recorded his only assists of the season.
“It looks a lot simpler from up there,” Edstrom said of the press box view. “One thing I took from it was the time with the puck. I’ve gotta slow it down a little bit. I was a little stressed with the puck in the beginning so that’s one part of my game I learned.
“I took that time off, I tried to work hard, get a bit of confidence back. Looking back on it, it might’ve been a good thing for me. I’m happy to be back and I feel good out there. … I feel like my confidence is a little higher now, so I’m playing a little freer.”
In the three games since Mike Sullivan’s shake-up — when Edstrom, 25, was benched in favor of a player (Juuso Parssinen) who was put on waivers on Tuesday — the 6-foot-7 Swede has scored his first two goals of the season, including Monday’s eventual game-winner against the Blues, which helped the Rangers (11-11-2) end a season-worst four-game losing streak.
