Victor Mancini has played his way into a much longer look than anticipated, showcasing strong defensive play and breaking up zone entries effectively.
The Rangers needed additional depth on defense outside Chad Ruhwedel, and they got it in Mancini, which could reshape their defensive strategy.
With Ryan Lindgren out, Mancini has the chance to prove himself alongside Adam Fox, a key opportunity for the young defenseman to shine.
If Mancini continues to excel, and assuming Jacob Trouba is traded, he may become an essential part of the Rangers' defense going forward.
