Defenseman Carson Soucy is eligible to return from injured reserve when the New York Rangers host the Minnesota Wild at Madison Square Garden on Monday night after missing four games with an upper-body return. His impending return figures to cause some shuffling along the Rangers’ blue line.
Soucy ditched his red non-contact jersey for a regular sweater during New York’s morning skate, joining Braden Schneider on the third defensive pairing. While coach Mike Sullivan labeled Soucy as a game-time decision, the 31-year-old confirmed he’s feeling 100 percent and is ready to return.
