Rangers return Jayson Megna to Hartford
The Rangers have returned forward Jayson Megna to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL. Megna was called up on Wednesday night to play in last night’s win over Minnesota. Megna played in place of Tanner Glass. He was held off the score sheet.
it was nice seeing you Jayson have a good rest of the season
I don’t get it, what was the point.
Could have been a matchup thing, specifically for Minnesota.
AV said before last nights game that Minnesota was a fast team and he preferred Megnas speed. Too bad the coach doesn’t make adjustments!
Nash is ready?
This basically confirmed that Glass wasn’t fully healthy. Either a little sore or sick or whatever. He got the night off and Megna went in. Fine.
BUT when of that 4th line you’ve got Moore (+0 shot diff), Paille (+1 shot diff) and Megna (+7 shot diff) then why on earth not give him another look? He earned it. Par for the course, I guess. Dejection ensues.
Does that include the shots Moore faced while on the PK and While Megna was on the PP?
No, I believe even strength only. That’s typically how shot differentials are filtered to normalize for things as you astutely point out.
Well thanks for the clarification! I just thought it was odd that linemates could have such differing shot differentials and thought that was a logical answer.
Yeah man, I’m with you. It certainly stands out.
Or, he was being specifically showcased, as a part in a deal. Lots of scouts there last night, I’ve read. So, you never know.
I like his forecheck. He has tenacity as well. He did well
Pretty dissapointed, but I understand with the lineup issues…. Kids a gamer!
I will put $100 on Glass over Megna in a once around the rink race with being healthy. Tanner is not slow.
