Zac Jones has ‘great opportunity’ to lock up spot on Rangers defense

NEW YORK, NY – Zac Jones came into Rangers training camp with the same goal he’s had each of the previous three seasons.

The circumstances, however, could not be any more different.

This is the first time the Rangers did not bring in a brand new defenseman to directly compete with the 23-year-old for the sixth defenseman spot.

That’s not to say there’s zero competition, because there certainly is, primarily with Chad Ruhwedel.
