The New York Rangers' blue line is coming into health.
Kevin Klein will be available for Game 1 of the Rangers' second-round series versus either the Washington Capitals or New York Islanders.
He missed all five games in the opening round, a five-game triumph over the Pittsburgh Penguins, after suffering a left arm injury blocking a shot in early March.
Klein scored nine goals and 26 points in a third-pairing role for arguably the deepest defensive unit in the league.
