Zac Jones has ‘great opportunity’ to lock up spot on Rangers defense
NY Post
Zac Jones came into Rangers training camp with the same goal he’s had each of the previous three seasons.
The circumstances, however, could not be any more different.
This is the first time the Rangers did not bring in a brand new defenseman to directly compete with the 23-year-old for the sixth defenseman spot.
That’s not to say there’s zero competition, because there certainly is, primarily with Chad Ruhwedel.
But all Jones has to do is reach out and take what he has been working toward his whole life.
“It’s a great opportunity for me,” Jones told The Post while sitting in his locker on Saturday at MSG Training Center. “That was my mindset over the summer, is I got to come in and play my game and really prove to these coaches and staff that I can play a full 82 games. That’s my goal for this year, is to come in and be a regular player.
