Practice Notes: New Lines; Richards Lost; Power Play

Andrew Gross of the Bergen Record reports these lines from practice this morning…

Anisimov-Stepan-Gaborik
Fedotenko-Richards-Rupp
Hagelin-Mitchell-Callahan
Dubinsky-Boyle-Prust

…it’s like fantasy camp for Feds and Rupp to be on a line with Richards. Officially time to reunite Richards & Gaborik.

…on Twitter I gave my proposed lines and received some great feedback, so I’ll do the same on the blog:

Gaborik-Richards-Stepan
Dubinski-AA-Callahan
Hagelin-Mitchell-Wolski
Prust-Boyle-Feds/Rupp

…yes, that is Wolski on the third line.

Meanwhile, the Rangers note that Brad Richards admits he is a little lost offensively. However, John Tortorella feels he will find his way.

…never a good thing when you hear your prized free agent acquisition say he’s lost offensively. He’s got to figure it out and figure it out soon. Not sure skating on a line with Feds and Rupp will help.

Gross adds that Torts felt the power play was better, but would dissect why.

…assuming he didn’t dissect why because he can’t figure it out.
