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. New York Rangers defenseman Zac Jones when the New York Rangers held their training camp Thursday, September 19, 2024 at Madison Square Garden Training Center in Greenburgh, NY.But all Jones has to do is reach out and take what he has been working toward his whole life.
Jones finally settled into the seventh defenseman role and spent the entirety of last season with the Blueshirts.“There’s definitely motivation from last year,” he said. “I want to be a guy that plays every game. Being a guy that was out for most of last year, being a healthy scratch, it gives you that extra motivation. I’m right there, but I want to be a little bit more. I want to be in the spot that these guys are in. I want to be battling in the playoffs.
“I’d like to see him pick up where he left off last year,” Laviolette said of Jones. “He came in and it seemed like the more he played, the more the season went on, the better he got. Played with confidence at the end, his skating was good, he moved the puck well, defended well.
