Due to Adam Fox's injury, the New York Rangers have altered their defensive pairings, with Zac Jones returning to the lineup alongside Braden Schneider. Previously, Jones performed well with Schneider before being sidelined. Ryan Lindgren returns, joining Urho Vaakanainen, while K'Andre Miller paired with Will Borgen indicates a potential top pairing. However, the new combinations do not instill confidence, as they seem underwhelming overall. Furthermore, JT Miller was noted as absent from practice due to illness, adding to the Rangers' challenges.
The focal point of the Rangers lineup updates is Zac Jones, who will finally get back into the lineup on a pair with Braden Schneider.
Lindgren skated with Urho Vaakanainen this morning, confirming his return and altering the defensive pairings.
There is no indication which pair will serve as the 'top pair,' but K'Andre Miller skating with Will Borgen suggests they might take on that role.
A Rangers defense consisting of Miller-Borgen, Jones-Schneider, and Lindgren-Vaakanainen scares exactly no one.
