Zac Jones, the 2019 third-round pick, has shown resilience and development, positioning himself strongly for a starting role in the Rangers' defense this season.
After spending last season as the AHL Hartford standout, Jones seized his opportunity during Jacob Trouba's injury, proving he could handle the pressure in the NHL.
With an improved strength and skills honed through practice, Jones became the clear favorite for the Rangers' third defensive spot, outshining younger competitors.
Jones's focus on practice, instead of being disheartened by limited ice time, showcased his determination and growth, making him a contender for the NHL roster.
