The American Duo, coming to save the day.
At least, that would be the hope for the Rangers, as Minnesotan Brady Skjei has been joined by Michiganite Jacob Trouba to ostensibly create a first defensive pair that the club has been wanting after for years. And following two straight seasons when the Blueshirts’ play in their own end has been a sore point, the two good buddies from their time at the U.S. Development Program could be a solution to having a real top unit.
“I think that’s definitely our goal,” Skjei told The Post after Tuesday’s practice, as the first look at the duo will come with the preseason opener, Wednesday night at the Garden against the Devils.
