I think /u/jimhabfan is correct, that looks like Rod Gilbert on the left.
We’re looking at 3,983 career regular season and playoff games, three retired jersey numbers, and 11 Stanley Cups 🙂 among these three truly great players.

That’s a ferocious backcheck by Richard 3 HoF in that picture too. And least 11 cup wins as a player.

There’s something so formal and professional about the way things used to be. It’s beautiful.
Looks like Phil Goyote, and a really young Rod Gilbert for the Rangers.
According to [Hockey Reference](https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/NYR/numbers.html), here’s the list of players who wore #19 for the New York Rangers.
So this would be [Jean Ratelle](https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=4457) reaching for the puck.
