The New York Rangers have shuffled their forward lines, promoting Pavel Dorofeyev to the first line while moving Gabe Perreault out of the top six. The change comes as the team looks to spark offensive production early in the season.
Dorofeyev, acquired in a trade earlier this year, has shown flashes of scoring ability and will now skate alongside the team's top playmakers. Perreault, a highly touted prospect, will see reduced ice time in a depth role as the coaching staff evaluates line combinations.
