Why Alain Vigneault Needs To Tweak The Defense (Even When Everyone Is Healthy)

The Rangers defense has been a problem all year, maybe injuries will for Vigneault to acknowledge that.

We've talked a lot in this space about the way the Rangers are struggling in terms of puck possession. Sometimes it's difficult to articulate that even with the use of charts and graphs to show where the pressure points are. Thanks to a Dan Girardi knee injury, the fanbase and the coaching staff got a look at Brady Skjei on Tuesday night. That audition will continue Thursday night since Girardi isn't travelling with the team out West and Kevin Klein still isn't ready to go.
