4 years agoNew York Rangers defenseman Anthony DeAngelo looks set to make his second appearance of the season on Friday against Pittsburgh, replacing Brendan Smith in the lineup. He was benched for one game as a disciplinary measure for taking an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty in last week's season opener, and the Rangers ended up beating the Islanders in impressive fashion 5-0, so DeAngelo also sat out Tuesday's battle with the Devils. DeAngelo was among the most productive defensemen in the league last season with 53 points, and he'll give some extra oomph to the Rangers offense, especially on the power play. He had 19 points with the man advantage last season.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
