Rangers coach David Quinn shakes his team after just one match.
Tony DeAngelo will be replaced for Saturday night’s rematch against the islands, Quinn said. The defender composed a third-period penalty with an unsportsmanlike conduct offense for a minor minor in the Rangers season, which opened Thursday’s 4-0 loss to the Garden Islands.
DeAngelo, who signed a $ 9.6 million two-year contract in October, did not skate with the main group in training on Friday and was demoted to work with the training team. The fifth-year NHLer, who broke out last season with 53 points in 68 games, cannot be officially assigned to the taxi team without removing the exceptions.
“When we make changes, we can always come back,” Quinn said Saturday. “If it doesn’t work, we can [go] to Plan B. ”
Quinn had said last week that the Rangers had spoken to DeAngelo after the defender caused a stir, deleting his Twitter account and calling the social platform a “shame,” after President Trump was banned from the site after the Jan. 6 riots. US Chapter. .
Brendan Smith will replace DeAngelo in the Islanders squad and striker Phil Di Giuseppe will replace Kevin Rooney, Quinn said.
