GREENBURGH, N.Y.— Tony DeAngelo was back at practice Monday and happy to be there. The 23-year-old defenseman skated with his Rangers teammates for the first time since agreeing to a one-year, $925,000 contract on Friday.
“There’s nothing personal. I think we were just kind of waiting, looking at options, and stuff,’’ said DeAngelo, the South Jersey native who was a restricted free agent this summer. “This is a good spot for me. It’s a good situation. The cap situation is what it is. I’m happy to be back and have a good season.’’
DeAngelo, a 5-11, 180-pound, righthanded shooter, led all Rangers defensemen in scoring last season, amassing 30 points (four goals, 26 assists) in 61 games.
