The fourth line has played really well for us. So who am I going to take out to put him in when he\u2019s played six games this year and he\u2019s been hurt and he\u2019s had [oral] surgery?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s going to get in; we like him, but it\u2019s got to be the right time and the right place. We\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gallant\u2019s reticence to go with Kravtsov in games with outsized November importance with the winger having played just two games this month and just 52:28 of ice time on the season is understandable. But that is why the Rangers need to get him into games and, essentially, into the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To that end, it is believed that there have been constructive discussions between Blueshirts management and Kravtsov\u2019s camp regarding a 14-day conditioning assignment to AHL Wolf Pack. If the 23-year-old does indeed sit out Monday\u2019s contest, it is entirely possible that assignment could come before the Rangers <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> to Ottawa for a match on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1438171166.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Vitali Kravtsov \" class=\"wp-image-24807664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1438171166.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1438171166.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1438171166.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1438171166.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Vitali Kravtsov could be set for a stint in the AHL. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NHLI via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Under that scenario, Kravtsov would be in line to play five games in eight days for Hartford beginning on Dec. 3. That would give the winger \u2014 who has one assist in six games of limited action in which he sustained three different injuries \u2014 his best chance of success on Broadway. It would also provide Gallant with more confidence with which to use Kravtsov.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always bad not to play, so after these injuries I am trying to prepare my body for games,\u201d Kravtsov told The Post following Sunday\u2019s practice. \u201cMaybe I am still not in the best condition to play, I don\u2019t know.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI try not to think about how many games I\u2019ve played or [missed]. I use practice as a way to get better and stronger and more confident every day. I focus on that. The team is helping me. And I am stronger, faster and more confident.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m getting good experience on the ice,\u201d said the ninth-overall selection of the 2018 draft who has recorded five points (2-3) in 26 NHL games. \u201cMy teammates, the trainers, the coaches are all working hard to get me bigger and more ready.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Vincent Trocheck took a maintenance day on Sunday, so Kravtsov skated at right wing on the third line with Alexis Lafreniere on the left and Barclay Goodrow at center. But that was a makeshift unit. If, as expected, Trocheck is in against the Devils, he will take the middle while Goodrow slides to the right and Kravtsov steps out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"746\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1430867299.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Vitali Kravtsov has not been able to break into the Rangers' lineup this season. \" class=\"wp-image-24807667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1430867299.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1430867299.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1430867299.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1430867299.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Vitali Kravtsov has not been able to break into the Rangers\u2019 lineup this season. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That would represent a new combination. So, too, would a projected second line featuring Filip Chytil skating between Artemi Panarin and Kaapo Kakko. Clearly, this represents another effort to unlock Panarin, who has copped to diminishing confidence through a current 12-game goal-scoring drought that is tied for the longest of his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chytil has centered Panarin a total of four times, twice in 2019-20 and twice early last season. That included the Oct. 16, 2021, contest in Montreal in which Kakko was on the right before leaving after the first period with a suspected concussion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always want to play with and against the best players, so it\u2019s exciting for me to play with Bread,\u201d No. 72 told The Post. \u201cWe\u2019ve been changing [lines] so much, but that gives me the opportunity to learn from the best.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve played some games on the wing with him and I know if I can create space, he will find me every time so I can look for shots. He\u2019s so creative and so great and creating space for himself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Panarin and Chytil look to create space on the ice, though, the Rangers need to carve out space for Kravtsov in the lineup.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a young player, he\u2019s trying to be a pro, he\u2019s in all our meetings,\u201d Gallant said. \u201cAgain, I like him, I think he had a good camp, he\u2019s a complete different kid than he was early last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut he\u2019s a young player and will have to wait for his turn. I\u2019m trying to win games every night, and with the makeup of our lineup, that\u2019s where it is with that. He\u2019s done nothing wrong, but with the chances he\u2019s had, he seemed to get hurt at every opportunity and that\u2019s too bad.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t like the kid and I\u2019m sitting him out because of that,\u201d said the coach. \u201cI like our other players.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chances are that Gallant will have more reason to like Kravtsov after the winger gets in some games for the Wolf Pack.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
