All Alain Vigneault could do was laugh at how the chips have fallen, allowing him and the Rangers brass to avoid being forced to make a difficult roster decision.
Following Wednesday night’s 5-2 comeback win over the Bruins at the Garden, Vigneault said forward Josh Jooris suffered a separated shoulder during the game and was going to be out “indefinitely.” That was no laughing matter, but with an impending return of forward Pavel Buchnevich for Friday night’s game against the Hurricanes in Raleigh, N.C., Vigneault doesn’t have to decide who to waive or trade to make room on the 23-man roster.
