Rangers' Adam Clendening: Could crack lineup Thursday
Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said he's considering including Clendening in Thursday's lineup against Winnipeg, the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis:
A healthy scratch for 20 of the Rangers' last 22 games, Clendening has picked up assists both times he's had a chance to suit up in that span. An offensive-minded blueliner, he could bring some much-needed punch to a power-play unit that's been quiet of late, offering a right-handed shot from the point. Clendening still doesn't merit much interest in fantasy circles until he can find his way into the lineup more consistently.
