New York Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant made it through his first day of training camp on Thursday as the team prepares for its first preseason game Sunday at MSG.
The boys are back. The New York Rangers laced up their skates and participated in their first day of camp with Gerard Gallant at the helm.
The players were divided into three teams along with a  goalie team.

Line Combinations
Now let’s remember this was the first day of camp, and the combinations aren’t etched in stone. Here is what Gallant went with yesterday when Team one played Team two representing what could be the top two lines to start the season next month.
Kreider-Zibanejad-Lafreniere
Panarin-Strome-Kakko
Line combinations for team three looked like this;
Goodrow-Chytil-Kravtsov
Blais-Rooney-Reaves
Highlights of the day
Adam Fox stepped onto the ice wearing his familiar #23 but with “NORRIS” on the back of his sweater.

Funny Tweet of the Day
Former Rangers captain and current ESPN broadcaster Ryan Callahan had a great Tweet that captured the real Blueshirt fan.
Death, taxes, and over thinking the line combination on day 1 of camp! Only sure things in life.
