So coach Peter Laviolette shook it up for Sunday afternoon’s Garden match against the depleted, talent-compromised Islanders and the Blueshirts rolled to a 5-2 empty-net aided victory.

The Rangers made major changes to their line combinations, which led to a decisive 5-2 victory against the Islanders.

Rangers were outshot 87-37 over the last two games, so Laviolette changed up his lines in preparation for Sunday's game against the Islanders.
