Will Cuylle’s quick start is making the Rangers rethink his evolution

Will Cuylle's strong start to the season is prompting the New York Rangers to reconsider his potential ceiling and role within the team. The 24-year-old left winger recorded his fifth career multi-goal game during a 6-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks at Madison Square Garden. Cuylle has tallied five points through seven games, providing offensive relief from the third line while displaying his scoring ability.

Playing alongside center Noah Laba and Eeli Tolvanen, Cuylle remains part of the only forward line kept intact by head coach Mike Sullivan. In addition to his scoring touch, Cuylle leads the Rangers with 26 hits and ranks third in the NHL. The New York Post notes that this blend of physical play and consistent production offers a potential blueprint for Cuylle to exceed his previous career highs.
