The injury to Adam Fox has forced the New York Rangers into some tough decisions in the lineup. Right now, Ryan Lindgren is slated to be on his off-side with Erik Gustafsson on the top pair while Zac Jones is reunited with Braden Schneider. That third pair has been crushed in two games together, and while the only way to go is up, there’s a need for Jones in particular to step up.
Jones made the team out of camp basically by default, as the Rangers weren’t going to risk losing him on waivers.
