GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Kevin Shattenkirk took his turns on defense in practice Tuesday at MSG Training Center, skating with the rest of the rebuilding Rangers, a group that has had three chances to win so far and failed each time.
"We haven’t really been talking about 0-3 that much,” Shattenkirk said. “We’ve been talking about the areas we can improve on.”
Shattenkirk knows he has areas he can improve on. He stood out in practice because he was paired with Fredrik Claesson, who has yet to play. The Rangers have eight defensemen. Coach David Quinn used seven in Sunday’s 8-5 loss at Carolina.
