PHILADELPHIA – Rangers coach Alain Vigneault still has some tough decisions to make among his forwards, but the ones he makes on defense can be make-or-breakers.
Or could force the Rangers to make a move for help.
Because so far, the Rangers’ defense has not established itself in terms of 1-through-7 through training camp and three preseason games.
So Monday night, in preseason game No. 4 here against the Flyers, Vigneault and his staff, including new assistant coach in charge of defense, Jeff Beukeboom, had their eyes wide open on the six men on the blue line.
