Tonight, the New York Rangers will take on the New York Islanders (at the Coliseum) in the first game of a home-and-home series.
A huge change to the Rangers lineup will take place in tonight's rivalry showdown.
The Rangers have switched up their top line for the game, and their head coach, John Tortorella, has announced that the Rangers agitator, Sean Avery, will receive top-line minutes playing alongside Marian Gaborik, and Erik Christensen.
Very smart move by Tortorella, very smart move indeed. Avery has played very well as of late, and his minutes have gone-up as a reward for his one-hundred percent playing style.
He will now get a chance with to play with superstar winger, Marian Gaborik, perhaps helping him to regain his scoring touch (him being Gaborik).
If Avery can continue to use his speed and hard shot to his advantage, he may find himself on the top-line more often. He's been given a huge responsibility by being played on the first line. For his sake, let's hope he doesn't blow it.
