Rangers' Carl Hagelin debating breaking out new wheels for Game 7

Some are afraid to go as far as wash their "gitch" during the playoffs, but New York Rangers forward Carl Hagelin isn't afraid to keep things fresh.

Even if it is his livelihood.

The speedster took the morning skate early Friday in preparation for Game 7 versus the Tampa Bay Lightning in order to test out a new pair of skates he's considering using with a chance to advance to the Stanley Cup Final on the line, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.

Hagelin hasn't scored since sending the Pittsburgh Penguins home in Round 1 with a series-clinching overtime goal.

Who knows, perhaps the new wheels will bring much of the same.
