New York Rangers’ headd coach David Quinn was noncommittal when asked if Brady Skjei would return to the lineup Monday vs. the Dallas Stars.
David Quinn was asked, given how well Brendan Smith and Freddie Claesson played, if he's in a rush to get Brady Skjei back into the lineup. Said Quinn: "I'd like to get Brady in, but...'' He said he'll need to watch the game film to see if a defenseman needs to come out.

Quinn admittedly wants to get Skjei back in, and it makes sense given Quinn’s usage of him so far, and in the bigger picture, the franchise’s belief in the third-year defender as evidenced by the massive contract extension he was awarded in the offseason.
