The New York Rangers contest with the Winnipeg Jets tonight is important for the Blueshirts as they continue to fight for a playoff spot. The other significant storyline is the meaning the game will have for three players.
For Jacob Trouba, it will be the first time he will return to the arena he called home for six seasons. For Brendan Lemieux it will be his first visit to the city where he made his NHL debut.
For Neal Pionk it will be a chance to show the hometown crowd that he was a worthwhile swap for Trouba, something they probably already know.
