Ryan Lindgren burst onto the scene last year as a rookie for the Rangers. He was solid, if unspectacular, paired with fellow rookie Adam Fox. The pair quickly became the Blueshirts best pair. Lindgren was not the typical hard hitting defenseman though, he was a great skater. At the end of last season, the question was whether he had the puck skills to survive without Adam Fox as his partner. This year he’s proven he can. And he’s changed the blue line’s direction. It’s hard to argue that Ryan Lindgren is a key cog in the Rangers future on defense.
