Neal Pionk and Anthony DeAngelo -- Much like Adam Clendening last year, both Pionk and DeAngelo aren’t just playing very well while fighting for roster spots, they’re doing it while veterans are struggling. DeAngelo has had some adventures in his own end, but continues to be a joy to watch offensively, and has proven that he might be able to make a case to be manning the second unit’s point on the man advantage. Honestly, seeing Ryan McDonagh not used as much at all strengths would be a real positive, and with the Rangers surplus of ability on defense (didn’t think I’d be writing that anytime soon) it makes sense to pull him from the power play and move him to the penalty kill.
