Rangers Prospect Nicklas Jensen Impresses at Worlds
The 23 year old Jensen has now collected 5 goals and 2 assists at the Men's World Championships in Moscow for Denmark. On Sunday Jensen scored the game winning goal in the shootout to defeat the Czech Republic 2-1. In 41 games for the Hartford Wolf Pack Jensen scored 15 goals and added 10 assists after coming to the Rangers from Vancouver for Emerson Etem.
RNYRF's GRADING THE RANGERS 2015-2016
MARC STAAL Defenseman
Once again a rough season for Staal whom many say was dealing with nagging injuries during the regular season and playoffs this past year. Collecting only 2 goals and 13 assists along with a plus 2 in 77 games it looked as though the work load over the past 2 seasons for the veteran D Man in his 9th pro season has taken it's toll. Staal who underwent ankle surgery in the off season didn't look his best but still managed to average close to 20 minutes per game. With 5 years remaining on a 5.7 million per year contract the 29 year old Staal is the highest paid defenseman on an already high priced Rangers defense. Hopefully with the extended time off Staal can regain some of what's been missing from his game the past few seasons.
