Rangers’ third line showing promise and goal-scoring capabilities

The necessity for Jonny Brodzinski, the emergence of Will Cuylle and the offensive struggles of Kaapo Kakko have led to the creation of a makeshift third line for the Rangers that has actually shown flashes of promise as of late.

Friday nights 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks marked the trios fifth straight game together, but this was a line head coach Peter Laviolette designed in the preseason.

The first time they played in a game together was the Blueshirts third exhibition game against the Devils on Sept. 28 at the Garden.

Our line is playing really well together, Brodzinski said after giving the Rangers a 3-1 lead in the second period Friday. I think just that chemistry, finally getting a few games under our belt together. Just the overall awareness of where each others at, its getting a lot better.

Its a unit that goes to the net. They can add some physicality.

And in the last four games, the line has proven it can score, too.

USA TODAY Sports via Reuters ConBrodzinski has scored three times in the past four contests while posting four points altogether over that span, including his fourth multi-point effort of the season against the Senators before the All-Star break.

After Cuylle helped push it through the neutral zone, Kakko danced on the blue line with the puck on his stick until the Rangers rookie tagged up to allow the line to enter the zone.

The Finnish wing was a force entering the zone before he unloaded a shot from the left faceoff circle.
