Another New York Rangers game, another NHL debut. Head coach David Quinn revealed that defenseman Zac Jones would make his NHL debut in Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Fans have been waiting for this day to come and now that Jacob Trouba is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Jones making his debut made all the sense in the world.
Lineup changes:
• Alexis Lafrenière to the top line, Chris Kreider to the third
• K’Andre Miller-Brendan Smith
• Jones would skate alongside Libor Hájek, meaning Anthony Bitetto would come out
• Igor Shesterkin in net
1st period: Big goal
The first period was the Rangers’ best of the game.
