The day has finally arrived. New York Rangers hockey has returned with players reporting to training camp for physicals on Wednesday.
With a few roster spots available, the competition to make the lineup on opening night is sure to be intense. On the blue line, the club is looking for a third-pair combination.
It appears that Lundkvist has secured a place on the roster, and it’s his to lose once practice begins on Thursday.
First Round Pick
Lundkvist was the Rangers’ first-round pick (28th overall) in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
General Manager and President Chris Drury gleamed with confidence when he spoke of Lundkvist before the development camp began two weeks ago.
