The New York Rangers need to see more consistency out of Benoit Pouliot. "I've had this conversation with Ben, I've had this conversation with a few players in my career," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. "You only get so many kicks at the can here, you only get so many teams. Obviously a guy like Ben, a high pick, a high skill level, you see it now and then and you go, 'Wow, why does the inconsistency or whatever is, not there on a more regular basis?' That's a question we're trying to figure out with him, obviously he's aware of it. He needs to figure it out. Sooner or later, you only get so many kicks at the can." Pouliot, 27, has three points and 25 penalty minutes in 12 games this season. The Rangers are the fifth NHL team he's played for and the fourth squad in as many seasons.
