Who could have predicted when the Rangers signed Colin Blackwell, a 5-9, 190-pound forward who had 33 NHL games on his resume after four seasons of professional hockey, that with all the big-name, high draft pick prospects on the Rangers’ roster, Blackwell would be a top six forward for the Blueshirts as they head to the stretch run of the season?
His college coach, Ted Donato, is not surprised. Well, maybe a little.
