Taking a quick look at the New York Rangers projected lineups for their upcoming game against the Minnesota Wild on Monday night, as there has been several changes to the lineup.
Earlier on Monday morning the New York Rangers announced that veteran defenseman Carson Soucy will official return to the lineup after being sidelined for over a week after crashing head first into the boards.

Along with Soucy's return, the New York Rangers made the decision to assign top defensive prospect the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American League.
However, with that being said we will see a few other changes on the Rangers defensive pairs as reports are confirming another change that fans have been waiting for.
