SAN JOSE, Calif. – And now, it is Braden Schneider’s turn to take a shot at nailing down that right-side spot in the Rangers’ third defensive pair.
The Rangers’ second first-round pick in the 2020 NHL draft got called up Tuesday from Hartford, and after practicing with the team Wednesday, appears poised to make his NHL debut Thursday, when the Rangers take on the San Jose Sharks in the fourth game of their five-game road trip.
Schneider, 20, was in the middle of a practice Tuesday in Hartford when he got called off the ice and told he was getting called up to the Rangers.
