With all the roster movement over the past two days, Alain Vigenault has settled on his defense pairings for tonight’s game:

Marc Staal-Ryan McDonagh
Brady Skjei-Kevin Shattenkirk
Nick Holden-Steven Kampfer

AV seems hell-bent on making what could be a great New York Rangers defense into a mediocre one at best. This is not optimal lineup usage, at all. The Rangers traded Derek Stepan to get Tony DeAngelo and committed big money to Brendan Smith. Let’s chalk this up as bad decision making, no sugar coating needed.
