Rangers ‘logjam’ means third-line beginning for Vitali Kravtsov
NY Post
David Quinn said Brendan Lemieux was shipped to Los Angeles because of the “logjam” of forwards the Rangers have, but the head coach proclaimed that the team has yet to establish a plan for the very player that has caused the congestion in the lineup.
Vitali Kravtsov has been with the team for a week, but since Quinn has been away from the team due to COVID-19 protocols since the 21-year-old was cleared to play, there apparently hasn’t been an opportunity to discuss a course of action. “I literally just said ‘Hi’ to him this morning for the first time,” Quinn said prior to Sunday’s 5-4 loss in Washington, his first game back behind the bench since March 15. “We have so much going on here, we haven’t talked in depth about what the plan is. The plan is obviously for him to continue to practice, and when we feel he can help, we’ll get him in there.”
