New York Rangers coach Peter Laviolette has been experimenting with different combinations in recent games, seeking to address the team's inconsistent performance over the last 15 matches. Ahead of the game in St. Louis, Laviolette described the Rangers' recent play as 'inconsistent'. Despite these challenges, Laviolette led the Rangers to a 2-1 victory, which he described as 'gutsy' due to the team's strong defense, especially towards the end of the game. He remarked, 'Even though we couldn't get that third one and fourth one I thought we defended hard and walked away with a win.' His leadership has not gone unnoticed as he has been named one of the four coaches for the upcoming All-Star Weekend.
