Alright, so The New York Rangers are hitting a rough patch right now. They've dropped 3 in a row and 5 of their last 6 games. That's got a sting for a team that started strong. One major factor, Igor Shesterkin is out with an injury, and that's clearly messing with their momentum. While they're solid at home with 6 wins, their road game has been shaky, to say the least. They definitely need to find a solution fast.
Now, the defensive pairs aren't pulling their weight lately. After their latest loss to the Los Angeles Kings, head coach Mike Sullivan made some adjustments. He flipped the pairings around, moving Sean Durzi and Braden Schneider into new spots. This kind of shakeup can really change the game. Durzi's been a bit banged up, so he's probably not playing at his best. But getting some rest could help him get back on track. Pairing him with rookie Alberts Smits could be a solid move, especially as Smits is still finding his way in the league. Overall, it makes total sense for the Rangers to mix things up after those defensive lapses.
They've got some time to regroup and we'll see if these changes light a fire under them moving forward.
